A memorandum of understanding to this effect was signed in Phnom Penh on February 10 during a working visit to Cambodia by Minister Bui Quanh Vinh from February 9-12.

Both sides agreed to promote the exchange of delegations to share experience in planning and statistical work and increase mutual understanding between the two sectors.

The two ministries agreed to exchange professional publications, information and documents and develop the website on the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam development triangle.

Accordingly, the Vietnamese Ministry will help its Cambodian counterpart enhance human resource capacity and provide digital equipment for management of the Khmer-language version website. It will also provide short-term training for officials from the Cambodian Ministry.

Minister Vinh took this opportunity to invite Senior Minister and Minister of Planning Chay Than to visit Vietnam next year and the Cambodian minister accepted the invitation with pleasure.
