The National Assemblies (NAs) of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam have pledged to work together to further enhance their cooperation for the benefit of the two countries and peoples.

“I look forward to working closely with Your Excellency and the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam to ensure peace, stability, and shared prosperity for our two nations. Our destiny is intrinsically interconnected, and naturally we are bound to support each other on many fronts,” wrote H.E. Kitti Sangaha Pundit Khuon Sudary, President of the Cambodian NA, in a thank-you message dated Aug. 22 to her Vietnamese counterpart H.E. Vuong Dinh Hue.

For his part, H.E. Vuong Dinh Hue also looked forward to meeting H.E. Kitti Sangaha Pundit Khuon Sudary to discuss measures of cooperation to further strengthening the relations between the two nations, for the benefit of the people of Viet Nam and Cambodia, and for peace, stability and prosperity in the region and the world.

He took the opportunity to congratulate H.E. Kitti Sangaha Pundit Khuon Sudary on her appointment as President of the Cambodian NA for the 7th Legislature.

“I would like to share with Your Excellency the honour to be the first female President of the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The appointment demonstrates that the people and the Cambodian People's Party have placed a huge confidence in Your Excellency,” he said.

H.E. Kitti Sangaha Pundit Khuon Sudary, former Second NA Vice President, was approved to be the NA President, while H.E. Cheam Yeap remains as the First NA Vice President and H.E. Vong Sauth, former Minister of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation, was endorsed to be the Second NA Vice President, during the first session of the 7th Legislature of NA held here at the NA Palace on Tuesday.
