NA Chairman, Cambodian PM boost neighbourliness

6th November, 2008

VietNamNet BridgeNeighbourliness and comprehensive cooperation were two of the topics in the spotlight during discussions between National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Hanoi on November 5.

Trong praised Hun Sen’s outstanding contributions to strengthening and developing the friendship and cooperation between the two countries, after congratulating him on his re-election as Prime Minister of Cambodia for the fourth consecutive term.

“May the cooperation between the two legislative bodies be further promoted along with stronger ties between Vietnam and Cambodia,” emphasised Chairman Trong.

The Cambodian PM Hun Sen affirmed that the main aim of his visit was to strengthen his country’s friendship and comprehensive cooperation with Vietnam.

“Vietnam and Cambodia should make greater efforts to strengthen their traditional friendship and all-round cooperation in the years to come,” said the Cambodian government leader.

He concluded by expressing his thanks to Vietnam for its sincere assistance to the Cambodian people in their past struggles and during their current goal of national construction and development.

Cambodian Red Cross works with Vietnamese counterparts

A delegation from the Cambodian Red Cross Society (CRC) led by its president Lok Chumteav Bunrany Hun Sen paid a working visit to their Vietnamese counterparts in Hanoi on November 5.

The president of the Vietnamese Red Cross Society (VRC), Tran Ngoc Tang expressed his wish to strengthen exchange of experiences across several fields, such as epidemic disease prevention, community health care, disaster prevention and their experiences in raising funds and organising international events.

Tang suggested that both sides work to establish an information sharing mechanism in order to quickly update information regarding humanitarian activities.

The two sides should also formulate proposals for projects on epidemic disease prevention, community health care and disaster prevention for people in border areas in order to drum up support from both domestic and international organisations, he said.

The Red Cross Societies of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam signed an agreement on trilateral humanitarian cooperation on January 26, 2007.

Both the CRC and the VRC have coordinated in a programme for bird-flu prevention in border areas and shared experiences in disaster prevention.

To date, the VRC has examined and given free treatment to more than 6,800 Cambodian residents around the border area. It has also performed over 1,400 free eye operations, and presented gifts to 3,800 poverty-stricken Cambodians.
