Speaking at the event, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the three countries of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia have a long-standing cultural and historical tradition, closely connected in terms of geography, history, tradition of fighting for national liberation, protecting independence and sovereignty, and in socio-economic development today.
The tradition of solidarity, attachment and mutual assistance between Vietnam - Cambodia - Laos is a valuable asset, the foundation for developing cooperative relations, mutual trust and a key factor in promoting solidarity and attachment among the three countries.
In recent times, many trilateral cooperation mechanisms between Vietnam - Cambodia - Laos have been formed and effectively promoted, contributing practically to consolidating and fostering cooperation between the three countries. In particular, economic-trade-investment cooperation has made strong progress, but is still not commensurate with the good political-diplomatic relations.
At the tripartite meeting on the occasion of this Summit, the Prime Ministers of the three countries agreed that economic-trade-investment cooperation needs strategic breakthroughs to match the stature of political relations and the potential and strengths of each country.
Appreciating the theme of this year's Summit, "ASEAN: Promoting Connectivity and Resilience", the Prime Minister hoped that the business community of ASEAN countries would continue to cooperate, support and contribute to helping the three countries of Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia raise their economic ties to the same level as their geographical, historical and political-diplomatic ties.
