President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan has suggested that the VFF and the Solidarity Front for the Development of the Cambodian Motherland (SFDCM) further their cooperation and exchange in the coming time.

At a reception for visiting Deputy President and Secretary General of the SFDCM Min Khin in Hanoi on October 30, Nhan, who is also a Deputy Prime Minister, affirmed that Vietnam always stands side by side with Cambodia in its national construction.

He said that the two mass organisations should increase communication activities to raise the public’s awareness on Vietnam-Cambodia traditional friendship and long-lasting solidarity, and share experiences in how to gather the people and encourage them to join in social order maintenance, environment protection, cultural tradition preservation, poverty reduction and socio-economic development.

Min Khin, who is also Minister of Cults and Religion of the Kingdom of Cambodia, said he is delighted at the increasing development of friendship and solidarity between the two countries.

He informed the VFF president about the outcomes of the talks between his delegation and a delegation from the VFF Central Committee, saying that the SFDCM will do its utmost to preserve and further deepen the traditional friendship between the two nations.

Previously, the VFF Central Committee delegation led by the front’s Vice President and General Secretary Vu Trong Kim held talks with the Cambodia delegation.

At the talks, the two sides informed each other of both countries’ socio-economic development and activities of their fatherland fronts at all levels.

They also discussed measures to hasten the implementation of the 2011 memorandum of understanding on the cooperative programme between the SFDCM, the VFF and the Lao Front for National Construction as well as preparations for the Laos-Vietnam-Cambodia Front Presidium Conference in Vientiane, Laos in the coming time.-VNA
