PM Dung’s working visit from January 12-14 aims to push forward bilateral economic, trade and investment ties.
Two-way trade reached 3.3 billion USD in 2012, a year-on-year rise of 18 percent and is estimated at 3.5 billion USD in 2013.
By June last year, Viet Nam invested over 3 billion USD into nearly 130 projects in Cambodia, focusing on industrial crop cultivation, mining, electricity generation, telecommunications, finance and banking, among others.
The friendship between Viet Nam and Cambodia has witnessed positive developments, with the exchange of many delegations in 2013.
The two countries have also strengthened national security and defence cooperation while cooperating closely in the search and repatriation of the remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the war in Cambodia.
The demarcation and planting of border markers is in progress. Both neighbours have affirmed to continue cooperating to complete the job at an early date for a border of peace, friendship, stability and development.
