Speaking highly of the results of the earlier talks between the two defence ministers, President Thuong affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State always encourage, support and create favourable conditions for cooperation between the two armies and defence ministries to make it more practical and effective.
He hoped that the two defence ministries would enhance information sharing and exchange views on global and regional issues, continue jointly realising existing agreements and pay attention to training officers, especially young ones. The two sides should effectively manage the shared border to build a borderline of peace, friendship, cooperation and development as well as step up negotiations on demarcation and planting of border markers on the remaining border section.
The President encouraged the two defence ministries to increase military exchanges at the local, regional, and division levels, thus facilitating the sharing of experience in training and building the armed forces of each country.
He also expressed his wish that that the two sides would continue maintaining all-level exchanges, considering it an important foundation to beef up cooperation between the two countries.
Gen. Tea Seiha, for his part, informed the host about the outcomes of his talks with Vietnamese Minister of National Defence General Phan Van Giang, saying that the two sides had looked into ways to boost bilateral defence ties.
Hailing the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defence as an important partner of the Cambodian Ministry of National Defence, he took this occasion to thank the Vietnamese Party, State, army and people for their support and assistance to their Cambodian counterparts.
He said in the current new term of the Cambodian Government, there are many new members who are all striving to inherit and uphold the achievements made by previous generations to continue nurture the traditional friendship, comradeship and fraternity between Vietnam and Cambodia.
