Accordingly, over the past time, the two sides have actively and proactively expanded their coordination in border and border gate protection as well as the continued promotion of socio-economic development in shared-border localities.
In particular, they boosted the twinning model between Vietnamese and Cambodian residential areas along the shared border, jointly held artistic and sport exchanges, supported each other to develop the socio-economy, and provided assistance for disadvantaged children. These activities have contributed to building a borderline of peace, friendship, cooperation, and development.
