"Both sides reiterated their commitment to continue enhancing cooperation between the two National Assemblies for mutual benefits," Keo Piseth, a spokesman for Samrin, told reporters after the meeting.
"They also vowed to help boost relations between the two countries in economics, trade, investment and tourism," he added.
