Hun Sen thanked Vietnam for coordinating with and supporting Cambodia in successfully organizing a ceremony to mark 45 years of his journey to overthrow the Pol Pot genocidal regime.

He rejoiced over the great and comprehensive achievements gained by the Vietnamese people under the leadership of the CPV headed by General Secretary Trong, while expressing his confidence that Vietnam would yield new and greater results, and successfully realize the 13^th National Party Congress’s Resolution.
