Meeting Senate President Say Chhum in Hanoi on December 16, the State leader congratulated Cambodia on its economic achievements and enhanced position on the international arena.

The two legislatures have agreed to continue further strengthening collaboration for the benefit of the two peoples, he said.
He affirmed the Cambodian Senate’s support of efforts to promote comprehensive links between the two nations, including working closely with Vietnam on border demarcation and building a borderline of peace, friendship, stability, cooperation and development.
The traditional friendship and mutual support between the two countries are built with the sacrifice of many voluntary Vietnamese soldiers and experts, the Cambodian Senate leader said, adding that the Cambodian people will forever bear in mind the great help of Vietnam during the most difficult time of Cambodia.
He expressed joy at the strengthened ties between the two countries, noting that last year, Vietnam became the sixth largest investor in Cambodia and the top source of tourists to the country.
