Vietnam should increase investment in agriculture in Cambodia, said the Chairman of the Cambodian National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Commission, Chheang Vun, at a recent reception for Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Nguyen Chien Thang.
The programme will benefit both nations as it will help Cambodia learn about Vietnam’s agricultural production experiences and improve the local people’s living conditions, while Vietnam will be able to increase its farm produce for export, Chheang Vun said.
Cambodia annually exports more than US$200 million worth of products to Vietnam and imports goods totalling around US$1 billion from the country.
Ambassador Thang pledged to ask the government to consider Cambodia’s suggestion, saying that boosting investment in Cambodia is one of Vietnam’s priority areas in order to beef up bilateral relations. He said that Vietnamese companies are planning to grow rubber trees on an additional 30,000ha in Cambodia in addition to over 30,000ha already planted in Kracheh province.
He also emphasised the importance of cooperation for mutual development in the triangle region shared by Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
Vietnam hopes that Cambodia will host a meeting between leaders from the triangle region’s 10 provinces next year to introduce the potential for development in this area, the diplomat added.
