The Vietnamese top leader hailed the significance of the visit by Hun Sen and congratulated Cambodia over the great accomplishments that the Cambodian people have achieved in the recent past.

Trong expressed the belief that under the reign of King Norodom Sihamoni  and the leadership of the Senate, the National Assembly and the Government, the Cambodian people will overcome all difficulties to obtain greater achievements for national prosperity and happiness of the people.

Trong hailed the constant development of the relations between the two parties, States and people and welcomed the two countries’ activities to mark 40 years since the day the two nations fought side by side against the genocidal regime of Khmer Rouge.

Meanwhile, Hun Sen congratulated Viet Nam over its important achievements recently, expressing his pleasure at the growing relations between Viet Nam and Cambodia.

Hun Sen affirmed that his Government will continue working closely with the Vietnamese government to further promote the comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.

He expressed his pleasure at the signing of many cooperative documents between Cambodia and Viet Nam, particularly the two documents recognized the completion of 84% of workload in the delimitation and marker planting along the land border between the two countries.

Hun Sen affirmed he will strive for the goal of completing all the delimitation and marker planting work within the Cambodian government’s sixth tenure.

The signed documents will serve as important foundation for the two countries to work toward full completion of land border delimitation and border marker planting, thus building a borderline of peace, friendship, cooperation and development between Vietnam and Cambodia.

Earlier the same day, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc held talks with Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen during which the two sides underlined that the Viet Nam-Cambodia relationship is cohesive, durable and inseparable./.
