The meeting of the Joint
Committee aims to evaluate the outcomes of cooperative agreements which were
approved at the 14th meeting in October 2015 in Ho Chi Minh City and
exchange specific measures to promote the cooperative mechanisms between the
two Governments.
The meetings are organized
in the context that Vietnam-Cambodia friendship and cooperative relations are
enhanced and delegations exchanges are maintained.
The bilateral cooperative
mechanisms between ministries, agencies, and localities and people-to-people
exchanges have been upheld effectively.
Vietnam was the third
largest trade partner of Cambodia with the two-way trade turnover of US$3
billion and the fifth biggest investor in Cambodia in 2016.
The Conference on
cooperation and development of Vietnamese and Cambodian border localities will
review achievements in their cooperation over the recent years and discuss ways
to strengthen cooperation between localities in the future.
Since the eighth conference
in October 2015, the multi-lateral cooperation
between border localities have been promoted, contributing to
consolidating and developing the two nations’ relationship, economic
development and people’s lives.
The two sides have closely
coordinated in border management, ensuring security for border marker
planting and preventing trans-border crimes, smuggling and trade fraud.
