Throughout various periods of historical ups and downs, the Vietnam-Cambodia relationship has been built and nurtured on a foundation of friendship, solidarity, mutual assistance, and shared strategic interests, becoming a precious asset of the two nations.
In order to further consolidate and strengthen relations in all fields, the two countries are accelerating the implementation of strategic directions agreed upon by the high-level leaders of the two Parties and two countries. Both sides maintain close cooperation and coordination within multilateral mechanisms, especially ASEAN and the Mekong sub-regional cooperation mechanisms.

In 2025, Vietnam is expected to have 1.22 million tourists visiting Cambodia (leading the list of countries with the most tourists visiting Cambodia), and nearly 700,000 Cambodian tourists.
Other areas of cooperation, such as education and training, transportation, culture, health, and telecommunications, are also being actively promoted. Exchanges and cooperation between associations and mass organizations are maintained and are being innovated in form.
The two countries also cooperate closely in international, regional, and sub-regional forums, especially the United Nations, ASEAN and ASEAN-led mechanisms, and the Mekong sub-regional cooperation mechanisms, contributing to enhancing the prestige and position of each country in the region and the world.
