During the meeting, the Vietnamese legislator praised Cambodia's COVID-19 response and post-pandemic recovery, and congratulated the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) on its important victory in the commune/ward council elections for the fifth tenure held in June this year. He also congratulated Cambodia on its achievements in maintaining political stability, security, and socio-economic development; and its increasing international position.

He affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State always attach importance to good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, and comprehensive and sustainable long-term cooperation with Cambodia, and are constantly consolidating and developing bilateral relations for the security and development of each country.

Expressing his delight at the outcomes of the talks between Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh and Phnom Penh Govenor Khuong Sreng, Hue said that the Vietnamese NA always supports and creates favourable conditions for the two capital cities to expand cooperation in many areas, contributing to collaboration between the two countries.

The NA Chairman suggested the two localities further facilitate trade and investment cooperation between Vietnamese and Cambodian enterprises, especially in tourism.

He expressed his hope that the Governor of Phnom Penh will continue to create favourable conditions for Vietnamese businesses, investors, and people to live, study and work in Cambodia in general and Phnom Penh in particular.
