Delegations from the external relations committees of the national assemblies of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia met in Kratie, Cambodia, from July 6-8, to discuss the role of parliamentarians in boosting development at the border triangle area of the three countries.
The Chairman of the Cambodian National Assembly, Heng Samrin, delivered an opening speech at the conference, the second of its kind.
Participants reviewed the implementation of the cooperation agreements between the three governments on the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam Development Triangle Area (CLV DTA) and discussed forms of cooperation between the legislative bodies, especially between the external relations committees of the three countries.
They agreed to enhance the three external relations committees’ role in supervising issues of mutual concern, particularly their prime ministers’ policies aimed at developing the border triangle area.
The three parties proposed to the three governments and their relevant agencies measures to speed up the development of the triangle area as well as plans for cooperation in other fields.
The conference passed a joint communiqué on the role of parliamentarians in boosting and developing the development of the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam triangle area.
The communiqué hailed the three countries’ policies, which encourage development, investment and trade in the area.
They asked their governments to further boost trade and investment cooperation to narrow the development gaps in the area and give high priority to building a favourable environment for rapid development in the area.
They also agreed to boost coordination in implementing the cooperation agreements and bilateral treaties on demarcation and planting markers along the borderline of the three countries.
The third conference of the three external relations committees is scheduled to be held in Laos in 2011.
