PHNOM PENH — Chairman of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV) Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations Lê Hoài Trung paid a working visit to Cambodia from December 23-24.

During the trip, Trung met with President of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and President of the Senate Samdech Techo Hun Sen, held a working session with Chairman of the CPP’s Commission for External Relations, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Prak Sokhonn, and met with member of the CPP Standing Committee and Deputy Prime Minister Neth Savoeun.

In his meeting with Hun Sen, Trung congratulated Cambodia on its remarkable achievements under the CPP’s leadership with Hun Sen as President and Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet as Prime Minister, helping Cambodia to ensure peace and develop comprehensively, improve local people's living standards, and elevate its role and position on the international arena.
