Hanoi, The Gulf Observer: Vietnam consistently values and prioritizes the continuous consolidation and strengthening of the enduring, friendly, and traditional neighborly ties, along with comprehensive cooperation with Cambodia, for the mutual benefit of both nations and the advancement of peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the region and globally.
