Phnom Penh (VNA) –Vietnam and Cambodia have agreed to fully and effectively actualise protocols on defence cooperation in order to enhance mutual understanding and trust, ensure a peaceful and stable environment for their econo﷽mic development and foil plots to weaken their relations.

General Lich affirmed Vietnam’s consistent policy of developing friendship and comprehensive cooperation with other countries, especially its traditional friends and neighbours.
The guest said his selection of Cambodia as one of the first countries to visit in his capacity as Defence Minister reflects that Vietnam attaches great importance to the friendship and all-round affiliation it has with the nation.

During his two-day official friendly visit to Cambodia, the Vietnamese minister was received by President of the National Assembly Samdech Heng Samrin and Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen on May 31.
