Minister of Interior Sar Kheng said his ministry and its Vietnamese counterpart are committed to work together to address various issues of common interests and concerns.

The pledge was made during a meeting between Sar Kheng and newly appointed Vietnamese ambassador to Cambodia Nguyen Huy Tang on February 10.

Sar Kheng said good relations and cooperation between Cambodia and Vietnam have been maintained at both national and ministerial levels.

“Samdech Krolahom [Sar Kheng] believed that Tang’s mission in Cambodia would bring relationship and cooperation between the two countries' ministries to the next level,” the ministry said in a press release.

Sar Kheng said he always stood ready to work closely with his Vietnamese counterpart to address all issues that may arise.

“[Tang] expressed his commitment, saying that he stands ready physically and spiritually to strengthen cooperation between Cambodia’s interior ministry and Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security.
