The three-day visit, which begins today and comes
at the invitation of President Truong Tan Sang, is the fourth made by
King Norodom Sihamoni since he came to the throne in 2004.
The two countries are celebrating the Friendship Year 2012 and the 45th anniversary of their diplomatic ties.
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties on
June 24, 1967, Viet Nam and Cambodia have been constantly strengthening
their political relations following the motto "good neighbourliness,
traditional friendship, all-round cooperation and long-term
sustainability".
Visits by high-ranking leaders were exchanged on a
regular basis, most recently by Vietnamese Party General Secretary
Nguyen Phu Trong in December 2011 and Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in
April 2012, as well as one by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and
National Assembly Chairman Heng Samrin.
The two sides have organised various conferences
together, such as the 12th session of the Viet Nam-Cambodia Joint
Committee in August 2011, the 7th Conference on Cooperation and
Development between border provinces of Viet Nam and Cambodia in HCM
City in March 2012, and the 3rd Viet Nam-Cambodia Investment Cooperation
Conference in Kien Giang Province in June.
Security and defence cooperation between the two
countries has been strengthened, helping to maintain stability and
social order along their common border and prevent trans-national
crimes.
Bilateral economic linkage, trade and investment
have been growing rapidly. Two-way trade exceeded US$2.8 billion in 2011
and is expected to hit $3.4 billion in 2012.
Viet Nam has poured over $2.4 billion into 112
projects in Cambodia, focusing on rubber planting, mining, oil and gas
exploration, energy, telecommunications, finance and banking.
Viet Nam has also continued to lend a helping
hand to Cambodia in training its workforce in human resources and
providing medical check-ups and treatment for Cambodian people.
The two countries' relevant agencies are also
planting markers along the common border. So far, 239 positions have
been decided for the planting of 289 border markers and 703 km of the
border line has been demarcated.
The two sides pledged to complete the work as soon as possible. — VNS

Maybe The King should tell the Viet, that Mekong Delta is belong to the Khmer Reign and under the Khmer King.
Therefore he should ask the Viet to give it back to him.
The Cambodian government has no right on this territorial, because the offcially Cambodian govenment only exist after 1953.
Before 1953 everything went through between the Khmer King and the French protectorate. All agreements must be sign by French and the Khmer King.
Therefore the Khmer King has the full right to discus and tell the Viet about the situation of the Khmer Krom live on the part of Mekong Delta, the territorial of their Khmer ancestor.
I agree with you 100% but I knew from the fact that your King is not dares to ask Yuon any of these subjects,Soun Sereyrotha may have the courage to ask Yuon about that question that you want the king to ask Yuon.He is just a clown on the throne wasted tax payer to support his laziness doing nothing on the throne.
