The Vietnamese President praised the results of the talks between Heng Samrin and Chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly Vương Đình Huệ on Monday and the cooperation achievements between the two legislatures over the past years.

He hopes that Heng Samrin will continue promoting bilateral ties in the future.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, two-way trade still hit nearly US$10 billion last year, up 80 per cent year-on-year. Vietnam now invests in 188 projects worth $2.8 billion in Cambodia, becoming the biggest ASEAN investor and among the top five in the country.

He said both sides are striving to accelerate the border demarcation on the values of peace, friendship, cooperation and sustainable development.

The host suggested both sides maintain the exchange of high-level visits and cooperation mechanisms via all channels.

The Vietnamese President hopes the two legislatures further consolidate the laws and regulations to facilitate bilateral ties in various areas, especially in linking the two economies, enhancing education, and raising public awareness of the traditional ties, particularly among the younger generations.
