Two-way trade has been steadily increasing, from $180 million in 2000 to almost $1.2 billion in 2007. It hit $903 million in the first half of 2008 hit. They have set a target of $2 billion in two-way trade turnover by 2010.
Vietnam’s investment in Cambodia reached the $100 million mark in 2007.
The two countries’ levels of cooperation in matters such as education and training, energy, health care, transport, and national security and defence have advanced considerably.
The two sides have enjoyed a good working relationship in dealing with issues related to the borderline and border security and order, and have agreed to complete the border demarcation and landmark plantation project by 2012.
The two countries have also worked to increase cooperation within a number of international organisations, such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and other regional and international cooperation mechanisms, including the Mekong River Commission (MRC), the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS), the East-West Economic Corridor Development Programme (EWEC), and the Ayeyawady-Chao Praya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS).
The two sides planed to sign a visa exemption agreement, the agreement on the point of connection for the Singapore – Kunming railway, the agreement on commodity transit, the cooperation agreement between the Radio Voice of Vietnam and the Cambodia Royal Radio, and the cooperation program between the Ministry of Information and Communications of Vietnam and the Cambodia Information Ministry.
The two countries are negotiating to admen the agreement on waterway transportation and other agreements on mining, industry and energy.
Vietnam and Cambodia also agreed to complete planting land border landmarks by 2012.
