Vietnamese investors are currently involved in 126 projects in Cambodia, worth over 3 billion USD, in cash crops, mining, oil and gas production, electricity, telecommunications, banking, and finance, helping to improve the lives of local Cambodians.

Cambodia and Vietnam have jointly addressed border issues, maintained sea patrols, and worked closely in locating and repatriating the remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers who died in Cambodia.

The newspaper quoted King Norodom Sihamoni as saying Vietnamese people are reliable friends of Cambodian people who will forever be good neighbors of Vietnamese people. Cambodia is keen on developing its traditional friendship and cooperation with Vietnam.
