Vietnam, Cambodia strengthen ties for people’s sake

13/01/2010

The Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security and the Cambodian Ministry of Interior need to strengthen their cooperation for the sake of the two countries’ people, said Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.

PM Dung made the comment during his meeting with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Sar Kheng in Hanoi on January 12.

The PM lauded the Cambodian Minister’s working visit and the results of his talks with Minister of Public Security Le Hong Anh earlier the same day.

He said he was delighted at the growing of bilateral traditional friendship and asked the two ministries to work more closely to implement a wide range of agreements reached by the two countries.

“Fine cooperation between the two ministries has helped facilitate the development of friendship and cooperation between the two countries and especially between the provinces which share the borderline,” PM Dung said.

He said the two ministries should enhance their assistance and cooperation in training and share experiences and professional skills to help maintain security, social order and safety in their countries.

PM Dung reiterated that Vietnam wants to implement its agreements reached with Cambodia effectively to elevate the traditional friendship and cooperation for the benefit of the two countries’ people.

Noting down PM Dung’s opinions, he affirmed that the Cambodian government is willing to coordinate with Vietnam to carry out bilateral agreements, including those agreed by the two ministries, in an efficient way.

Earlier, Deputy PM and Minister of Interior Sar Kheng held talks with Minister of Public Security Le Hong Anh during which they informed each other of the current situation in their respective country and discussed issues of mutual concern.

They reviewed the implementation of cooperative programmes in 2009 and exchanged views on measures to be taken to boost their cooperation in 2010.

The two officials reached agreement on the issues they raised and showed their determination to lift the two ministries’ cooperative ties to a new height.

They signed a cooperation plan for their ministries in 2010.
