Vietnam always gives top priority to fostering and developing the sound neighborly relations, traditional friendship and multi-dimensional cooperation with Cambodia.

Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong made the remarks while receiving President of the Cambodia’s National Assembly Heng Samrin in Hanoi on August 19.

He hailed the fruitful cooperation between the two parliaments over the past few years, expressing his hopes that the pair will continue sharing information and law-making experience as well as implementing effectively the contents of signed agreements and treaties.

The Party leader congratulated Cambodia on the successful organisation of the fifth-tenure parliament election with the victory of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).

He also welcomed the consensus reached by the CPP and the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) that put an end to the political deadlock for nearly one year in the country.

For his part, Heng Samrin asserted that his country will do its utmost along with Vietnam to preserve and nurture the bilateral companionship and all-around connection to reach a new height.

The top legislator thanked Vietnam for her valuable support for rescuing Cambodians from the genocidal catastrophe and helping the country in its reconstruction and development.

Cambodia will closely work with Vietnam to realise the agreements and joint statements signed between the leaders of the two countries, he affirmed.-VNA
