Hung
reiterated Viet Nam’s consistent policy to strengthen its comprehensive
relations with Cambodia on the basis of the interest of the people of the two
nations, for peace and stability in the region and the world.

“Viet
Nam and Cambodia should be pro-active in developing a co-operation programme
between the two governments in the 2015-20 period as soon as possible while
optimising successes in bilateral economic and trade co-operation programmes,”
said Hung.

The
Deputy Prime Minister also expressed his wish to see an early completion of the
planting of border posts along the Viet Nam-Cambodia border.

“This is
a very important element to enable Vietnamese and Cambodian people living along
the border to exchange cultural and economic activities,” said Hung.

Men Sam
An thanked Viet Nam for its support in Cambodia’s wars of national salvation and
its current cause of national development.

She
hoped, with its experience, Viet Nam would continue to support Cambodia in the
role as the President of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Association in 2011.

She also
pledged to provide favourable conditions to Vietnamese investors in Cambodia and
overseas Vietnamese living and working there.
