In a significant commitment to enhance economic collaboration, Cambodia and Vietnam have pledged to elevate their bilateral trade to USD 20 billion in the coming years. This agreement was reached during a meeting on 20 February 2025, between Samdech Khuon Sudary, President of the National Assembly of Cambodia, and HE Nguyen Minh Vu, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Vietnam to Cambodia.

During the meeting, Ambassador Nguyen highlighted that Vietnam has invested nearly USD 3 billion in Cambodia, encompassing approximately 400 projects, reflecting the robust economic ties between the two nations.
