General Secretary Nong Duc Manh left Hanoi on December 17, beginning an
official visit to Cambodia at the invitation of King Norodom Sihamoni.

This is Mr Manh’s second visit to Cambodia after his first in March 2005.

The visit aims to strengthen the traditional friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries and to elevate Vietnam’s position in the region, especially as the country will assume the chair of ASEAN in 2010.

Over the past years, bilateral relations have developed well through a regular exchange of high-level visits to promote mutual trust and understanding.

Two-way trade has increased by 40 percent annually, reaching US$1.7 billion in 2008 and US$945 million in the past three quarters of this year. Both countries aim to raise the figure to US$2 billion in 2010.
