They also underscored the need to educate future generations, especially the youth, about this enduring bond.

The three parties agreed to bolster their defense and security cooperation to effectively address both traditional and non-traditional security challenges. They committed to enhancing information exchange, consultations, and coordination to protect each other’s legitimate interests and jointly tackle shared challenges.

The leaders stressed the need to drive economic cooperation forward by improving connectivity between their economies, particularly in transportation, trade, and tourism. They also vowed to strengthen cooperation in culture, education, and science-technology by leveraging each country’s strengths.

The three leaders agreed to optimize existing cooperation mechanisms while exploring new approaches to enhance the quality, effectiveness, and substance of their collaboration. Their goal is to promote the mutual interests of their countries and contribute to regional and global peace, stability, and development.

On this occasion, the Cambodian and Lao leaders extended their congratulations to General Secretary To Lam and the Vietnamese leadership and people on Vietnam’s significant milestones in 2025, including 50 years of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - 2025), 80 years of National Day (September 2, 1945 – 2025), and 135 years of President Ho Chi Minh birthday (May 19, 1890 - 2025).
