Vietnamese, Cambodian front organisations forge cooperation

At the talks, Vice President and Secretary General of the VFF Central Committee Nguyen Thi Thu Ha affirmed the fruitful relations between the two sides, with the signing of cooperation documents.

The two sides briefed each other on operations of their front organisations, and compared notes on cooperation orientations and contents in the time ahead.

Nhem Valy, Permanent Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the National Council of the Solidarity for the Development of Cambodian Motherland, held that the talks will help the two front organisations better understand each other, thus helping deepen the friendship and solidarity between Vietnam and Cambodia.

The official noted his hope that following the sixth international conference on building a shared border of peace, friendship and cooperation for development between Vietnam and Cambodia, which was held in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta province of An Giang last year, the 10 provinces that share the border line will continue completing the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation between their fronts.

Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam should also further realise the MoU on tripartite cooperation they inked in 2020, he suggested.

The two sides agreed that the fifth meeting of presidents of the front organisations of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam will be convened in Laos.

Ha called on the Cambodian side and relevant agencies to continue supporting Vietnamese people in the neighbouring country, while facilitating the operations of Vietnamese investors and businesses there.

Vietnam will further create favourable conditions for Cambodian citizens and students to live and work in the country, she pledged.

On the same day, the Cambodian front delegation was received by Secretary of the Party Central Committee and President of the VFF Central Committee Do Van Chien.

Nhem Valy informed the host of some key features of Cambodia's socio-economic development situation, and expressed his hope that the traditional friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries will always be preserved and promoted by their people.

Chien affirmed that the VFF Central Committee will implement contents committed by the two sides in the coming time, with focus on successfully organising a conference of Presidents of the front organisations of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in Laos.

He said that the front organisations of Vietnam and Cambodia should better communication work and encourage the two countries' people to always keep in mind the period during which the two sides assisted each other to build up their solidarity and friendship.

Chien also showed his hope that the National Council of the Solidarity Front for the Development of Cambodia Motherland and Cambodian authorities will continue to support and find solutions to remove difficulties and create favourable conditions for Cambodians of Vietnamese origin, thus contributing to further consolidating and strengthening the solidarity, traditional friendship and fine cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia in general and between the two front organisations in particular.
