A senior Vietnamese official arrived in Cambodia Thursday to sign a number of agreements on energy, industry and mineral resources, officials said.
The state visit “is very important for strengthening the cooperation, relationship and friendship between the two nations,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Koy Kuong said. “During his visit, the two nations will sign two agreements. Firstly an agreement on energy, industry and mineral resource; and secondly, an agreement on water transportation.”
Nong Duc Manh, general-secretary of Vietnam’s Communist Party, will meet with King Norodom Sihanomi, and senior leaders of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, including Chea Sim, Heng Samrin and Prime Minister Hun Sen.
He will also meet with venerable monks Tep vong and Bour Kry, who are supreme patriarchs of two Buddhist sects.
