HÀ NỘI — The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV) has sent a message of congratulations to the Central Committee of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), its members and Cambodian people on the occasion of the CPP’s 75th founding anniversary (June 28, 1951 – 2026).

In the message, the CPV lauded the CPP’s achievements over the past 75 years despite numerous difficulties and challenges. It described the anniversary as a significant milestone in the CPP's history, marking a glorious journey closely intertwined with the country's destiny.

It highlighted the CPP’s historic victories in the struggle for national liberation, rescuing Cambodians from the disaster of genocide, firmly safeguarding the revolutionary gains, and building a peaceful, stable and prosperous Cambodia with growing regional and global stature.

The CPV and Vietnamese people warmly congratulate the CPP on these accomplishments and and believe that under the leadership of the CPP Central Committee and Standing Board headed by Hun Sen, the CPP will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping Cambodia’s strategic direction and strengthening national unity, successfully implementing the CPP's 2023–2028 Platform and the Government’s Pentagonal Strategy Phase VII, with a vision to make Cambodia an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income nation by 2050, said the message.

It underlined that the CPV always attach great importance to, and give top priority to the development of relations with Cambodia, particularly as both countries enter new stages of development amid an increasingly complex global and regional landscape.

Việt Nam will spare no effort in working together with the CPP, the State and the people of Cambodia to inherit, preserve and nurture the invaluable shared asset of solidarity, traditional friendship and comprehensive cooperation between Việt Nam and Cambodia.

The message concluded with wishes for the lasting strength of the good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation and long-term sustainability between the two Parties, two States and the people of Việt Nam and Cambodia.
