Lam and Sar Kheng co-chaired a dialogue between the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Interior, which reviewed the co-operation results in 2017 and set cooperation goals for 2018.

Both sides agreed that relevant forces have closely and effectively worked together to ensure security and maintain social order in each respective country; and seen improvement in cadres’ training activities as well as high-ranking visit exchanges.

In 2018, they agreed that competent forces from both sides will assist each other to further promote security and social order in each country; security in Cambodia’s general elections to the National Assembly and Senate; safety for top leaders’ visits; and favorable conditions for Vietnamese and Cambodians living and working in each respective country.

The dialogue ended with the signing of a cooperation plan for 2018 between Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security and Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior.
