Both sides agreed to focus on all-level delegation exchanges - especially among young offiers, deputy ministerial-level defence policy dialogue, personnel training, and joint sea patrols.

They will step up the search for, gathering and repatriation of Vietnamese volunteers and experts who laid down their lives in Cambodia in wartime, while enhancing coordination to protect the shared borderline of peace, friendship, stability and development.

He confirmed that the Vietnamese army and people will strengthen solidarity and provide assistance for Cambodia in nation building and defence.

For his part, Minister Tia [Tea] Banh thanked the Vietnamese army and people for helping Cambodia escape from the genocidal Pol Pot regime as well as assisting the Royal Cambodian Army in personnel training and training facilities.
