Vietnam and Cambodia today agreed to soon double their bilateral trade to US$20 billion while increasing cooperation, including in security and the use of water from the Mekong River, the Vietnamese government said.
Trade between the two neighbouring countries rose from 20% a year in the 2015-2022 period, to US$10 billion last year, the government said in a statement following a meeting in Hanoi between Vietnam’s prime minister Pham Minh Chinh and his Cambodian counterpart Hun Manet.
