On May 23, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson responded to VietNamNet's question about Vietnam's stance on Cambodia's request for Vietnam's cooperation in investigating information about some social media accounts believed to belong to Vietnamese citizens that contained inappropriate comments on the account of Cambodian Senate President Samdech Techo Hun Sen.

Spokesperson of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang stated: "The recent personal opinions expressed by some accounts believed to originate from Vietnam on social media do not represent the views of the Government and People of Vietnam. We do not agree with opinions and comments that incite, divide the good feelings between the Vietnamese and Cambodian people, and personally attack the leaders of the two countries."

On the basis of the good neighborly relationship, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, long-term sustainability with Cambodia, the authorities of both sides have practical and effective measures to help the people and future generations of the two countries understand clearly and fully about this relationship, making the relationship between the two countries develop stronger and stronger, for the benefit of the people of the two countries.

"In that spirit, we believe that Vietnam and Cambodia will continue to coordinate closely in sharing information in many areas, including the Funan Techo Canal project as well as research on the project's transboundary impacts, thereby ensuring the harmonious interests of countries and people living along the river, and the effective and sustainable management and use of Mekong River water resources," the spokesperson affirmed.
