In recent years, Vietnam - Cambodia ties have thrived with substantive results. Political trust between the two countries has been fostered, providing a solid foundation and overall orientation for all-around cooperation. Frequent high-level exchanges and meetings among leaders have reinforced political trust, cleared hurdles in cooperation, and improved the overall efficacy of bilateral engagement.

National defence - security collaboration remains close and serves as a firm pillar of bilateral ties. Economic, trade, and investment cooperation has seen steady gains. Through educational activities, cultural exchanges, and twinning between localities, mutual understanding and bonds of friendship between their people, especially among the youth, have further deepened, forming a strong foundation for Vietnam - Cambodia friendship.

The visit by General Secretary Lam and his entourage carries special political significance. It conveys a strong message from the Vietnamese Party and State, and from General Secretary Lam personally that Vietnam always attaches great importance and gives top priority to developing and nurturing the good neighborliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, and long-term sustainability with Cambodia./.
