PHNOM PENH, Feb 13 (NNN-AKP) – Cambodian Prime Minister, Samdech Techo Hun Sen, left here this morning, for a two-day official visit to neighbouring Laos, a senior official said.
Sry Thamarong, a minister attached to the prime minister, said that, in Vientiane, Hun Sen will hold bilateral talks with his Laotian counterpart, Sonexay Siphandone, to discuss ways to further enhance bilateral ties in all areas.
“After their talks, the two prime ministers will sign two bilateral documents, namely the Action Plan for the Comprehensive and Long-Lasting Strategic Partnership for 2023-2027, and the treaty on border demarcation between the two countries,” he told reporters, at the Phnom Penh international airport, before departure.
“The visit is another historical milestone, and it will open a new chapter for bilateral cooperation in all fields, particularly in tourism and economics, in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era,” he said.
Thamarong said, during the visit, Hun Sen will also pay separate courtesy calls on Lao President, Thongloun Sisoulith, and National Assembly President, Xaysomphone Phomvihane.
Cambodia shares about 540 km of border with Laos, to the north and north-east.
