VietNamNet Bridge – Vietnam always attaches importance to and will do its utmost to strengthen and develop the fine neighbourliness, traditional friendship and comprehensive and long-term cooperation with Cambodia.
Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh made the statement while receiving Cambodian Minister Hun Sen in Hanoi on Nov. 4, the first day of the latter’s visit to Vietnam as guest of his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Tan Dung.

He warmly congratulated the huge achievements recorded by the Cambodian people in recent years, particularly the successful organisation of the fourth national assembly elections.
General Secretary Manh said he hoped that the Cambodian people, under the reign of King Norodom Sihamoni and leadership of the Royal Government, will obtain greater successes in building Cambodia into a country of peace, independence, neutrality, non-alignment and prosperity, and having friendly ties with all nations, especially with its neighbours.

T he two countries also need to beef up relations between their ministries, sectors and agencies, in addition to the exchange of high-level visits, the President said.
