The two PMs said they are pleased with developments in the two countries’ relations in recent time.

They vowed to facilitate all-level visits to raise mutual understanding and all possible support to Vietnamese firms in Cambodia.
Both leaders reached a consensus on stronger partnerships in the fight against terrorism, trans-national crime, smuggling, and drug and human trafficking, reiterating the observance of the principle of not allowing any hostile forces to use one’s territory to harm security in the other as well as interfere in the other’s internal affairs.

Speaking highly of Cambodia’s support for the Vietnamese community to live and work in the country, the host leader also promised to help the Cambodians in Vietnam.
On the East Sea issues, they consented to uphold ASEAN’s common stance mentioned in its Six-Point Principle on the East Sea, placing importance on maintaining peace and stability in the East Sea, settling disputes by peaceful means in line with international law and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea while speeding up the implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea and the formulation of a Code of Conduct in the East Sea between ASEAN and China.
Discussing regional and global issues of mutual interest, both host and guest committed to working closely together at multilateral frameworks like the United Nations, ASEAN and other regional and sub-regional cooperation mechanisms.
