Vietnam and Cambodia are neighbouring countries which have a long-standing traditional friendship. On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between the two countries (June 24, 1967 – June 24, 2012) many activities full of fraternal friendship were held.

On the celebration day of the 45th anniversary of the Vietnam-Cambodia diplomatic relations (June 24, 2012), Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and his Cambodian counterpart Samdech Hunsen attended a State-level inauguration ceremony of border marker No. 314, which is the last numerical marker on the land border between Kien Giang Province (Vietnam) and Kam Pot Province (Cambodia).

This shows the high determination of the leaders and the wish of the people of both countries to build a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and sustainable development.

Vietnam and Cambodia also have their close cooperation and mutual support at international and regional forums, such as the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam Cooperation, Cambodia-Laos-Myanmar-Vietnam Cooperation, ASEAN, ASEM and the UN. Cambodia is the ASEAN Chair in 2012 and Vietnam will continue close cooperation with Cambodia to help this country fulfill its great responsibility.
