This is the first official visit to Cambodia by Hue as Chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly. It aims to deepen the "good neighborliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive, long-term and sustainable cooperation" between the two countries.
During the visit, the two sides will discuss future cooperation orientations between the two legislatures, both bilaterally and multilaterally, as well as exchange views on international and regional issues of mutual concern.
Following the official welcome ceremony, the top Vietnamese and Cambodian legislators will hold talks on November 19. NA Chairman Hue will also have bilateral meetings with other Cambodian leaders.
Following the visit, the Vietnamese NA leader will attend AIPA-43 hosted by Cambodia to continue implementing the policy of proactively and actively promoting comprehensive and intensive international integration, and raising the level of multilateral diplomacy.
The Vietnamese legislature will join other AIPA member parliaments to strengthen ASEAN solidarity and centrality and boost relations between AIPA and partners, contributing to the ASEAN Community building process as well as to promoting regional peace, cooperation and development.
