Prior to the welcome ceremony, PM Chinh laid wreaths at the Independence Monument, the Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk, and the Vietnam - Cambodia Friendship Monument in Phnom Penh.
Aside from the talks with the Cambodian PM, the Vietnamese leader is set to make a courtesy call on King Norodom Sihamoni, and meet with President of the Senate Say Chhum and President of the National Assembly Heng Samrin.
He will also join PM Hun Sen in a Vietnam - Cambodia investment and trade promotion forum, visit some joint socio-economic establishments of the two countries, and meet with representatives of the Vietnamese community there.
This is the first official visit to Cambodia by PM Chinh. The trip, held in the Vietnam - Cambodia Friendship Year 2022, is expected to contribute to promoting the good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, and comprehensive, sustainable and long-term cooperation between the two countries./.
