H.E. Mr. Prak Sokhonn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia, will pay an official visit to Thailand at the invitation of H.E. Mr. Don Pramudwinai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, from 23 to 24 February 2023. During the visit, H.E. Mr. Prak Sokhonn will hold bilateral discussions with H.E. Mr. Don Pramudwinai at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and pay a courtesy call on H.E. General Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of Thailand, at the Government House.

 

This Official Visit will focus on the theme of “Enhancing Forward-Looking Partnership for Peace and Common Prosperity” to strengthen bilateral cooperation in all aspects. The two countries will explore ways to further increase bilateral trade and investment, promote greater connectivity, strengthen security cooperation to maintain peace and uplift the well-being of people residing along the border areas, enhance cooperation to tackle transnational organised crimes especially the so-called “call centre” scamming networks, and most importantly, promote friendship and mutual understanding at the people-to-people level. The two sides will also have an opportunity to discuss and coordinate on regional issues of common interest.

 

Thailand and Cambodia share a uniquely special relationship that is enjoyed by people from all walks of life and in all aspects. This visit to Thailand by H.E. Mr. Prak Sokhonn underlines the excellent relations and close friendship between Thailand and Cambodia, as well as the common desire of the two countries to forge an ever-stronger relationship on the basis of mutual understanding and common interest, in order to emerge stronger together from impacts of COVID-19 for the benefit of the peoples in both countries.
