Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet arrived in Hanoi on June 8 for an official visit to Vietnam and to participate in the third ASEAN Future Forum (AFF). He was formally welcomed by Vietnamese Prime Minister Le Minh Hung at the Government headquarters, marking the start of his two-day engagement in the Vietnamese capital.

The welcoming ceremony featured a review of the Guard of Honor of the Vietnam People's Army and national anthems of both countries. Prime Minister Hun Manet was accompanied by his wife, Dr. Pich Chanmony Hun Manet, and a delegation of ministers, including the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prak Sokhonn. The delegation also includes ministers overseeing agriculture, trade, information, tourism, and public works.

During his stay, Prime Minister Hun Manet is scheduled to attend and speak at the AFF 2026, an annual event initiated by Vietnam. He will also pay courtesy calls to Vietnam's top political figures, including General Secretary and President To Lam, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, and Standing Secretary of the Central Committee Tran Cam Tu. The visit aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation, particularly in economic and scientific-technological fields, and to foster closer ties within the ASEAN community. Hun Manet's participation in the AFF is expected to offer Cambodia's perspective on pressing regional issues such as self-reliance, economic connectivity, energy security, AI governance, and digital transformation.
