Immediately after arriving in the capital Phnom Penh, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung had a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia Samdech Hun Sen.
The two Prime Ministers expressed their delight at the increasingly good, in-depth, practical and effective development of the friendship and cooperation between the two countries in recent times. The two Prime Ministers agreed to strongly promote the comprehensive cooperation between the two countries in the coming time, especially in the fields of economy, trade and investment; and agreed to organize the 3rd Vietnam - Cambodia Investment Promotion Conference in Vietnam next June. 2012 is the "Vietnam - Cambodia Friendship Year" and the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries (June 24, 1967 - June 24, 2012). The two Prime Ministers assigned relevant ministries and branches of the two countries to closely coordinate to organize practical activities to celebrate this important event, and at the same time do a good job of propaganda and education about the tradition of solidarity, friendship and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia among all classes of people.
Regarding the issue of border demarcation and marker planting, the two leaders agreed to continue implementing the agreements reached, focusing on removing some remaining obstacles to speed up the completion of border demarcation and marker planting.
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung affirmed that Vietnam supports the theme of Cambodia's ASEAN Chairmanship year: "ASEAN: One Community, One Destiny" and will closely coordinate with Cambodia to promote this theme, believing that Cambodia will successfully organize the ASEAN Summit and successfully complete its ASEAN Chairmanship year, contributing to the goal of building the ASEAN Community in 2015. Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung thanked the Royal Government of Cambodia for creating favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community in Cambodia to do business and live, and at the same time proposed to continue creating favorable conditions for Vietnamese expatriates to live stably, contributing to the development of Cambodia as well as promoting the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries and peoples.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen affirmed that he will create favorable conditions for Vietnamese people to settle, live and do business in Cambodia as well as create favorable conditions for Vietnamese enterprises to invest and do business in Cambodia. Prime Minister Hun Sen hopes that Vietnam will support Cambodia to successfully implement the ASEAN Chairmanship Year.
