Cooperation between Ho Chi Minh City and the Cambodian northwestern province of Banteay Meanchay has great potential, the city’s Mayor said Tuesday.
Mr. Le Hoang Quan, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, made the remark while receiving a delegation from Banteay Meanchay, led by its Governor Oung Oeun.
At the reception, the two leaders affirmed that many businesses in Vietnam and in Ho Chi Minh City had held trade promotions and engaged in effective investment in Cambodia’s localities recently, with two-way trade between Vietnam and Cambodia reaching about 2 billion USD.
Quan said the visit contributed to promoting the multifaceted relations between the two localities.
Oung Oeun expressed his pleasure at witnessing the strong and dynamic development of Ho Chi Minh City and said he wished to further strengthen and tighten cooperation between the two localities and two nations in the future.
Oung Oeun introduced Banteay Meanchay province’s potential for development of tourism, agricultural and mineral exploitation to the HCM City’s leader, hoping that Vietnamese businesses will invest in processing plants for wheat flour and cement as well as in rubber tree plantations in the province, with the locality planning to replace 40,000 hectares of forest with rubber trees.

Bravo Governor Oung Oeun!I am so please with this move. Khmer needs to bring in Vietnamese investors to develop along the Thai/Khmer border while many more governors of the opposite direction (Takeo,Kampot,Svay Rieng,Prey Veng and Kg Cham)should follow this good exemple by courting Thai investors to theirs respective provinces nearest of Vietnamese border. Tell them straightly that we need stability and great friendship and also want their presences not only for cash and job opportunity but have them for the border security leverage as well. Thai and Vietnam should looking after "Khmer peaceful state" to ensure that neither Thai nor Vietnam have a sole upper hand in Khmer affairs. ASEAN should also help implement this policy if it wanted to see a lasting peace and prosperity prevail in poor Cambodia.
