During the talks, the two PMs expressed their delight at the positive strides in the Viet Nam-Cambodia friendly neighbourliness and comprehensive cooperation over the recent past.
They agreed to continue reinforcing trust and developing the bilateral cooperation strongly, extensively, and sustainably in all fields.
Viet Nam and Cambodia will work closely together within the ASEAN framework, the leaders pledged, noting that they will direct their countries’ ministries, sectors, and localities to coordinate with each other to strengthen the COVID-19 fight while dealing with any issues emerging in a timely manner and in the spirit of friendship and cooperation.
The two countries will maintain cross-border trading as usual, make efforts to raise bilateral trade revenues, bolster defence-security cooperation, and guarantee security and order in border areas, the PMs said.
They spoke highly of the legislative bodies’ ratification of the treaty that supplements the 1985 treaty on the delimitation of national boundaries and the 2005 supplementary treaty, along with the Viet Nam-Cambodia protocol on land border demarcation and marker planting, as well as the hand-over of the Viet Nam-Cambodia land border topographic maps.
The two PMs agreed to assign relevant agencies to continue working together to hold some events related to border cooperation in the time ahead.
During the talks, the leaders consented to jointly implement the signed agreements and deals well and convene the 18th meeting of the Viet Nam-Cambodia joint committee at an appropriate point of time.
The two sides also repeated their commitments to coordinate closely and effectively at regional and international forums, especially within ASEAN and sub-regional cooperation mechanisms./. VNA
