During his visit, President Heng Samrin held talks with Vietnamese NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thị Kim Ngan, and met Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, President Tran Dai Quang, and Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc. He also met Secretary of the Ha Noi municipal Party Committee Hoang Trung Hai, and received the President of the Viet Nam-Cambodia Friendship Association.
At the talks and meetings, both sides concurred to intensify delegation exchanges at both central and local levels for better coordination to implement their signed agreements. They will also share information and exchange experience and concrete measures to timely solve problems arising in bilateral relations in the spirit of mutual understanding and trust, and in conformity with laws of Viet Nam and Cambodia, international practice and the two nations’ traditional friendship.
They consented to maintain strong relations in all Party, State and people-to-people diplomacy channels. They will go ahead with friendship activities and educate people from all walks of life, especially younger generations, on Viet Nam-Cambodia solidarity, friendship and comprehensive cooperation.
Both side reached consensus on continuing negotiations between the two countries for the prompt signing of the Viet Nam-Cambodia Border Trade Agreement, which will replace the Agreement on Trade and Exchange of Goods and Services in Border Areas signed in 2001. President Heng Samrin noted that the Cambodian NA backs the facilitation of licensing for Vietnamese businesses’ investment projects in Cambodia.
They sides underlined the need to offer conditions for Vietnamese and Cambodian Governments as well as relevant ministries, agencies and localities to complete the construction of auxiliary border markers and poles along the common border line in 2017, and finalise related dossiers on border demarcation and marker planting in line with regulations of the Viet Nam-Cambodia Joint Committee for Border Demarcation and Marker Planting, towards signing a legal document acknowledging outcomes of the work.
Early, Cambodian NA President Heng Samrin attended a grand ceremony to celebrate the 50th founding anniversary of Viet Nam-Cambodia diplomatic relations (June 24, 1967); participated in a meeting between the presidents of the Viet Nam Fatherland Front, the Lao Front for National Construction and the Solidarity Front for Development of the Cambodian Motherland; and joined an exchange with outstanding students from the three nations at the Viet Nam National University in Ha Noi on June 25.
