He asserted that Cambodia’s current development owes to support and assistance from Viet Nam.
He said the two countries need to intensify cooperation to further their traditional friendship.
Mr. Hun Sen informed his guest that he will chair the debut of the Asian Cultural Council to which he is the founding president.
In turn, National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan expressed her impression with Cambodia’s preparations for the event as well as the country’s warm welcome given to participants, showing her belief that the APPF-27 will be successful.
She said she believes that under the reign of King Norodom Sihamoni and the leadership of the Senate, the National Assembly and the Royal Government, Cambodia will continue maintaining its growth and stability during the nation-building process and enjoy higher role and position on the regional and global arenas.
The NA Chairwoman congratulated Cambodia on successfully organizing the 40th anniversary of the victory over the Pol Pot genocidal regime (January 7, 1979).
