People’s Party (CPP) Central Committee on late February 3 issued a press
release on the phone talks earlier the same day between CPP President and Prime

According the press release, Hun Sen extended

The Cambodian leader emphasised that with a clear-sighted
vision, the CPV has led Vietnam to enormous achievements in socio-economic
development and maintaining peace, stability, and prosperity. He congratulated Vietnam
on successfully performing its role as Chair of ASEAN in 2020 and a
non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2020 - 2021.
He expressed his belief that the CPV will
successfully carry out the policy orientations and solutions adopted at the
13th National Congress so as to turn Vietnam into a strong, equal, democratic,
and civilised nation.
Appreciating Hun Sen’s congratulations, Trong

Cambodia, for their congratulatory messages to Vietnamese partners, which he
described as demonstrations of the traditional relations and good
neighbourliness between the two countries.
The Vietnamese leader also informed Hun Sen
about the outcomes of the CPV’s 13th National Congress and re-affirmed the
implementation of future orientations for the Vietnamese Party and State’s goal
of comprehensive development in the coming decades.
He also highly valued Cambodia’s considerable achievements
in the recent past, voicing his wish that the Cambodian people will surmount
difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and achieve sustainable
development and long-term prosperity, thus actively contributing to the
maintenance of peace, stability, and development in the region and the world.
The press release noted the two leaders
expressed their respect for the time-tested relations while speaking highly of
the strong development of ties between the two parties and countries in all
spheres, which has generated common benefits for the Cambodian and Vietnamese
people.
