The two sides agreed to push ahead with implementing their hotline mechanism, sharing information on illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, and mutually supporting search and rescue, anti-smuggling, and anti-commercial fraud. 

They also agreed to organize a 4th meeting in Cambodia next year and collaborate at multilateral forums on maritime law enforcement and security.

The Vietnamese side invited the Cambodian delegation to attend an exchange in Hanoi in December where maritime law enforcement forces from regional countries will share experience and promote cooperation.
