The State leader said the two nations need to improve their solidarity, friendship and cooperation further by facilitating economic, trade and investment ties, while enhancing people-to-people diplomacy, especially amongst younger generations.

He believes that under the sound rule of King Norodom Sihamoni and the leadership of the Senate, National Assembly and government of Cambodia, in which the Cambodia People’s Party plays a crucial role, the fraternal Cambodian people will continue to reap even greater successes in the cause of building Cambodia for peace, stability and prosperity.

The host expressed his delight that Vietnam has become one of the leading trade and investment partners of Cambodia.

He asked his guest to continue providing support for Vietnamese nationals living in Cambodia, which would contribute to fostering the friendship between the two peoples.

Heng Samrin, for his part, affirmed that the Cambodian people will forever keep in mind the sacrifices made by Vietnamese soldiers during the fight to save Cambodia from the genocidal Pol Pot regime.

He added that Cambodia will continue to maintain a stable political climate, following the recent election of deputies to ward and communal councils, thus laying groundwork for the Senate and general election in 2018.
