This will be Chinh's first official visit to Cambodia as prime minister, and also the first visit of a high-ranking Vietnamese leader to Cambodia during the Vietnam-Cambodia Friendship Year 2022.

The visit is happening in the context of a friendly and neighborly relationship, as well as comprehensive and stable cooperation between the two countries that will continue to develop, foreign ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang said at a press meet Thursday.

Chinh will also hold talks with PM Hun Sen, participate in the Vietnam-Cambodia trade and investment promotion forum and meet with other high-ranking leaders of the neighboring country.

U.S. President Joe Biden will also come to Cambodia to attend the annual ASEAN summits, the White House announced last week.
