During their phone talks on Friday, Chairman Hue expressed his wish that Mr. Hun Sen would continue directing the committees of the Cambodian Senate to work closely with the Vietnamese NA's committees to further enhance the role of the legislative bodies in mechanism and law fine-tuning, and create a legal framework conducive to bilateral cooperation in various fields.
There is a shared commitment to accelerating the remaining 16% of land border demarcation between Vietnam and Cambodia as soon as possible, he said.
Senate President Hun Sen reaffirmed Cambodia's consistent foreign policy of giving priority to relations with Vietnam.

They pledged to maintain effective coordination between relevant ministries, particularly those related to national defence, public security, and foreign affairs, to ensure a borderline of peace and development.
