Thuch praised Vietnam’s support for peacebuilding efforts in Cambodia and encouraged its greater involvement in mine action, citing its extensive expertise. Although Vietnam is not yet a state party to the convention, Thuch expressed hope for its future accession and urged Vietnam to share its technical expertise and support international resolutions. Do reaffirmed Vietnam’s commitment to collaboration and commended Cambodia’s leadership in global peacekeeping and mine clearance efforts.

The meeting underscored the importance of continued cooperation between the two nations to address landmine challenges and support regional and global peace initiatives.
