He expressed his belief that under the reign of King Norodom Sihamoni, the leadership of the Senate and the NA, and the direction of the Government with the CPP as the core, the Cambodian people will continue to achieve new and even greater accomplishments, successfully realising the Political Platform of the CPP for the 2023-2028 period and the goals set forth by the seventh-tenure Government.
The CPV and CPP need to keep preserving and nurturing the relationship between Vietnam and Cambodia, ensuring that it continues to grow further, he said.
The host suggested that both sides effectively carry out the contents of the meeting between the two Parties’ leaders and another meeting of leaders of the three Parties of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos across various fields. Emphasis should be placed on enhancing cooperation between the two legislatures, sharing information and experience in law making, and joint supervision over the implementation of agreements and accords signed by the two countries.
He also called for mutual support at multilateral and international inter-parliamentary forums.
Khuon Sudary, for her part, believed that under the leadership of the CPV led by General Secretary Trong, the Vietnamese people will continue reaping new and greater achievements, successfully realising the Resolution adopted by the 13th National Party Congress.
Expressing her profound thanks to Vietnam for providing Cambodia with great and invaluable support throughout the years, she affirmed that Cambodia will, together with Vietnam, safeguard, preserve and develop the relationship between the two countries to new heights and pass it on to future generations.
She briefed the host about the recent developments in Cambodia, including the organisational apparatus and personnel of the NA and Government in the new term, as well as the outcomes of her talks with Vietnamese NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.
Cambodia will continue working closely with Vietnam to effectively implement the agreements and accords reached by leaders of the two Parties and countries, she said.
* On the same day, President Vo Van Thuong hosted a reception for President of the Cambodian National National (NA) Samdech Khuon Sudary, who is on an official visit to Vietnam at the invitation of her Vietnamese counterpart Vuong Dinh Hue.
President Thuong congratulated the Cambodian guest on her election as President of the Cambodian NA, expressing his belief that the ongoing visit will contribute to deepening the traditional relations between Vietnam and Cambodia, and the effective cooperation between the two legislative bodies in particular.
Khuon Sudary said that choosing Vietnam for her first foreign trip since she took office showed that the Cambodian leader has attached importance to the traditional friendship which was set up and nurtured by many generations of leaders and people of the two countries. She suggested the two sides continue to educate young generations about the good friendship between Vietnam and Cambodia so that the bilateral relationship will grow stronger in the future.
The Cambodian top legislator informed the Vietnamese State leader about her talks with NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, saying that the two sides agreed on cooperation directions in the coming time to further step up cooperative ties between the two NA in particular and between the two countries in general.
While congratulating Vietnam on its impressive development achievements in recent times, Khuon Sudary expressed her hope that Vietnam will continue to cooperate and share experiences with Cambodia so that the two countries can develop together strongly.
President Thuong affirmed that Vietnam's development achievements are partially thanks to the important cooperation, support and encouragement from Cambodia.
The Vietnamese State leader underlined the need for the two countries to increase meetings at all levels, and people-to-people exchange activities, thus promoting the traditional friendship between the two countries.
He hoped that the two nations will continue to unite, share, and cooperate more closely for stable development, expand trade and investment cooperation, and make better use of cooperation opportunities in the context of rapid and complicated changes in the world and the region.
The Vietnamese President agreed with the Cambodian leader on the necessity to promote cooperation in personnel training to improve the quality of human resources, thus meeting the development requirements of each country. President Thuong also urged the two sides to accelerate the progress of border demarcation and marker planting.
* National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue held talks with his Cambodian counterpart Samdech Khuon Sudary in Hanoi on December 1.
The two top legislators shared the view that the two countries should promote cooperation in education and training, people-to-people exchanges, transportation and tourism; closely coordinate in managing the shared borderline to ensure security and safety and fight crime; continue to accelerate the progress of border demarcation and marker planting on the remaining 16% of the border; and increase consultation and support each other's stances at multilateral international forums.
Regarding parliamentary cooperation, they agreed that the two sides will maintain close collaboration in building and perfecting institutions and legal systems to maintain political stability, ensure national defence and security and socio-economic development, enhance the international position of each country as well as preserve and develop the relationship between Vietnam and Cambodia.
The two sides will maintain the mechanism of the Summit of the three National Assemblies of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam (CLV), first of all coordinating to organise the first summit in Laos and the next edition in Vietnam.
They will continue to promote their coordination at multilateral forums such as the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF) and other multilateral parliamentary organisations; and support each other's stance on regional and international issues.
At the talks, NA Chairman Hue proposed that in cooperation at multilateral forums, the two sides should increase consultations on strategic, security and development issues of the region as well as of each country; affirm ASEAN's central role in regional issues; uphold the bloc’s common principled stance on the East Sea which calls for ensuring security, safety, and freedom of navigation and aviation on the basis of compliance with international law, addressing disputes by peaceful means in accordance with international law and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), seriously and fully implementing the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), and soon achieving a substantive, effective and efficient Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC) ./.
