Ngan suggested the two neighbouring countries further raise public awareness of the tradition of giving mutual support to each other, especially in difficult times, among young generations.

She also took the occasion to ask the Vietnamese NA, the Cambodian Senate and legislature to continue their mutual assistance in the future.

Speaking highly of the Senate President’s role in fostering ties between the two States, the NAs and peoples, Ngan wished that in his position, Chhum will continue directing relevant units to boost bilateral ties for the benefits of the two peoples.

The guest wished that Cambodia will successfully hold the election of deputies to the communal and district councils and the NA by 2018.

Chhum, for his part, thanked the Vietnamese legislature for its assistance in personnel training and infrastructure.

He congratulated Viet Nam on its achievements over the past years under the leadership of the Communist Party of Viet Nam and wished that Viet Nam will reap more successes in its 2016-2020 plan.

Host and guest expressed wish that the two countries would settle remaining issues to build a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development, saying that the completion of demarcation is a great asset for later generations.
