Vietnam accords top priority to developing relations with neighboring Cambodia, Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh said Monday.

Manh welcomed the Chairman of Cambodia’s National Assembly Heng Samrin to Hanoi, saying that the traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation and time-honored relations between the two countries should be preserved and passed onto the next generation.

The Party leader congratulated Samrin on his re-election as National Assembly chairman as well as Cambodia’s achievements.

He also said he hoped that the Cambodian people, under the reign of King Norodom Sihamoni and the leadership of the Senate, the National Assembly and the Royal Government would continue to reap the rewards of building a peaceful, independent, and prosperous country.

The Cambodian NA Chairman thanked the Vietnamese Party, State and people for helping rid Cambodia of its genocidal regime.

He said he hoped to further develop the traditional relationship his nation enjoys with Vietnam.
President Nguyen Minh Triet also welcomed the official visit by the Cambodian statesman, extending his regards and wishes for good health to King Norodom Sihamoni, King Father Norodom Sihanouk, Queen Mother Norodom Monineath and other Cambodian leaders.
