National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man on November 28 met with Cambodian King Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromneath Norodom Sihamoni, who is on a state visit to Vietnam.

The NA leader underscored that the King’s two-day visit could help significantly reinforce the "good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation and long-term sustainability" between Vietnam and Cambodia.

King Norodom Sihamoni expressed his memories of Man's official visit to Cambodia from November 21 - 24, 2024, which, he said, contributed to strengthening the longstanding bilateral ties and opening new opportunities for cooperation across all fields.

The King described his ongoing state visit to Vietnam as historic and pivotal in further consolidating and expanding the traditional friendship, solidarity, and cooperation between the two countries. He said the Cambodian and Vietnamese people have consistently supported each other as good neighbours and brothers, for their mutual interests and for peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the region and the world.

He said the history of the bilateral ties showed that late Cambodian King Father Norodom Sihanouk and Vietnam’s high-ranking leaders established and built the strong foundation for the Cambodia-Vietnam relationship. Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk, King Norodom Sihamoni himself, Senate President Samdech Techo Hun Sen, National Assembly President Samdech Khuon Sudary, Prime Minister Samdech Hun Manet, and other high-ranking leaders of Cambodia have been working to nurture and enhance the two countries’ traditional friendship, solidarity and cooperation, he stressed.

Man emphasised that the generations of Vietnamese leaders and people always remember the warm sentiments and invaluable support that late King Father Norodom Sihanouk, Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk, and King Norodom Sihamoni, as well as generations of Cambodian leaders and people have extended to the country and people of Vietnam during their past struggle for national independence, as well as in the nation building, safeguarding, and development cause today.

He showed his hope that the King, in his esteemed position, will continue to nurture this fine relationship, and support efforts to educate the younger generations of both countries on the close bond and solidarity between the two countries and their people.

The top legislator affirmed that he, along with the entire National Assembly, will make every effort to continue strengthening cooperation with the Senate and National Assembly of Cambodia in law making, supervision, and decision making on major national issues.

He affirmed that Vietnamese leaders and people look forward to welcoming Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk and the King to visit Vietnam at an appropriate time.

On this occasion, King Norodom Sihamoni expressed his deep gratitude to the Party, State, and people of Vietnam for helping the Cambodian people escape from the genocidal regime in the past, as well as in the current national construction and development process.

The King said be believed that under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, led by General Secretary To Lam, Vietnam will achieve comprehensive development in all areas, contributing to strengthening its international reputation and role, and to peace, stability, and development in the ASEAN region and the world./.
