VOV.VN - Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong lauded the positive developments of Vietnam – Cambodia relations in recent times during his reception for Prak Sokhonn, chairman of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) Central Committee's Commission for External Relations in Hanoi on October 18.
Trong recalled major milestones in Vietnam – Cambodia relations, affirming that the historical tradition of solidarity and mutual assistance between the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Cambodian People’s Party and between the two states is a valuable asset, one of the most important factors and the greatest source of strength behind the past struggle for national independence as well as the current cause of construction and defense in each country.
Vietnam always supports Cambodia’s construction and development process, and believes that Cambodia will continue to reap new, greater, and more comprehensive achievements in implementing its development strategy for 2023-2028, said the Party leader.
He spoke highly of the outstanding achievements the two Parties and States have recorded over the years, and proposed that the two sides materialize agreements reached at high-level meetings between the two countries’ leaders and a recent tripartite Party meeting between leaders of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. He stressed the need to promote cooperation in all areas, from politics, diplomacy, defense-security to economy, culture, education, and science-technology, as well as people-to-people exchanges.
Trong asked his guest to convey his best wishes to Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni, CPP chairman Hun Sen and other leaders.
Prak Sokhonn for his part briefed his host on the results of his October 17 talks with Le Hoai Trung, head of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations, and affirmed that Cambodia would continue to work closely with Vietnam to effectively implement agreements between senior leaders of the two Parties and States.
He vowed to work hard to foster the growing relationship between Cambodia and Vietnam in whatever position he would hold in future.
During the October 17 talks, the two heads of the Commissions for External Relations extensively discussed orientations for bilateral cooperation in all fields in the coming time. The two sides agreed to strengthen the exchange of information on the international situation and share experiences to well perform assigned tasks.
