Phnom Penh (VNA)ꦍ – Cambodian alumni studying in Vietnam has been making positive contributions to the development of the Vietnam-Cambodia relations, President To Lam affirmed on July 13 morning during his meeting with the Cambodian Alumni in Vietnam Association (CAVA) as part of his state visit to the neighbouring country.
Reviewing important milestones in Vietnam - Cambodia ties, the President affirmed that the relations have achieved many positive results which greatly contributed to the development of each country and consolidated the two countries’ relationship under the motto of “Good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, and long-term sustainability.”
The President emphasised that over the past time, the bilateral relations have been continuously growing. The two countries’ leaders have maintained regular contacts and exchanges, and bilateral cooperation mechanisms have proven effective. The two sides have paid great attention to promoting economic, trade and investment ties while collaboration in education, training, culture and tourism has been increasingly developing.
In particular, high trade growth is one of the bright spots in the two countries’ cooperation, he said, adding the two sides have also cooperated closely within multilateral and sub-regional frameworks, contributing to peace, stability and development in the region and the world.
In the context of the current rapidly changing and complicated world situation, President Lam hoped that Cambodian alumni studying in Vietnam will always be a strong bridge that connects the two countries.
He wished that they will help the Cambodian people, especially the young, know more about the position and importance of the Vietnam-Cambodia relations to the development of each country.
Agreeing with the proposals of the alumni association, the President said he will ask relevant Vietnamese agencies to grant more scholarships to Cambodian students to study at Vietnamese universities and consider establishing a Vietnamese Alumni in Cambodia Association, thereby further promoting the friendship between the two countries.
The State leader believed that with a complete organisational structure, a large number of members and good sentiments towards the country and people of Vietnam, the CAVA will operate effectively and contribute to the development of Cambodia as well as Vietnam-Cambodia relations.
CAVA President Uch Leang and the association’s members expressed their honour to meet President To Lam on his first trip to Cambodia.
They also showed their deep gratitude to the Party, State and people of Vietnam for providing great support and assistance to Cambodia in general and to Cambodian students in Vietnam in particular.
Uch Leang affirmed that Cambodian alumni will continue to serve as a bridge to help Cambodian younger generation understand the solidarity and close relations between the two countries' people./.
