He said “My visit and the 9 th session of the joint committee (of Viet Nam and Cambodia) were positive. Cambodian leaders confirmed their wish to boost relations and cooperation with Viet Nam as well as their opinion that the joint committee is an effective tool in applying diplomatic operation.”
“The two parties agreed to work out 24 joint programmes, focusing on the two countries’ strengths such as eduction and training, energy, agriculture-forestry-fisheries, transportation, mining, oil and gas and post and telecommunications,” Khiem said.
A number of business contracts were signed along with a consensus on security, where a principle of non-permission for third party aggression was agreed upon.
“An agreement on criminal extradition is also expected to come to fruition soon,” Khiem said.
“The two sides agreed to speed up the planting of land border markers to finish the process by late 2008 in an effort to build a peaceful and stable borderline for our mutual development,” Khiem said.
