The Vietnamese top legislator expressed her hope that the close and effective cooperation between the two legislatures will contribute to enhancing the Vietnam-Cambodia relationship.
The two leaders highlighted the effective and result-oriented cooperation between the NAs across spheres, as well as their mutual support at regional and international inter-parliamentary forums, contributing to promoting cooperation and reaching common perception in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and AIPA.
Heng Samrin said the Cambodian Senate and NA stand ready to back Vietnam’s AIPA Chair in 2020.
On this occasion, he thanked the Party, State and people of Vietnam for saving Cambodians from the genocidal regime as well as supporting the country during the national reconstruction.
NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan said she wants Heng Samrin and the National Assembly to create favourable conditions for the organisation of exchanges between parliamentarians of the two countries in 2019 and 2020.
Lauding joint efforts in fulfilling 84 percent of border demarcation and marker planting, she urged the two sides to soon complete the remainder, contributing to building a shared border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development.
Ngan expressed her hope that the two NAs will continue their coordination, for a united AIPA./.
