Vietnam's president praised cooperation with neighbouring Cambodia Tuesday during a private visit by former king Norodom Sihanouk and members of his royal family, state television reported.
Sihanouk arrived in the Vietnamese capital with his wife and his son, King Norodom Sihamoni, for a four-day stay.
The ex-monarch is sometimes known as the "king-father" of Cambodia, where anti-Vietnamese sentiment is rife, fuelled by resentment at Vietnam's expansion over centuries and the perception that Cambodia is losing territory.
But communist Vietnam's President Nguyen Minh Triet said the visit showed relations between the two are close and important, state television said.
Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as their fellow neighbour Laos, are determined to maintain solidarity, Triet added.
According to the report, Sihanouk thanked Vietnam for its support.
Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1978, overthrew the murderous Khmer Rouge regime the following year, and occupied the country for 10 years.
"Being retired and no longer doing politics nor diplomacy, my journey and trip to the glorious Socialist Republic of Vietnam will have a strictly private character," Sihanouk said in a statement dated June 14.
He was to meet other current and retired leaders of Vietnam, and attend a performance at Hanoi's Opera House, a Vietnamese source said.
Sihanouk abruptly quit the throne in October 2004 in favour of his son, citing old age and health problems. He remains a prominent figure in Cambodia and often uses messages on his website to comment on matters of state.
Cambodia and Vietnam share a 1,270-kilometre (790-mile) border, which has remained vague since French colonial times, but in 2005 they signed a border accord that has helped calm tensions after decades of territorial disputes.
Vietnamese businesses are also investing in Cambodia.

Sihanouk and Hun Khvack will give all khmer land to Youns.
No King Sihanouk does not give any Khmer land to Yuon. Your paranoid does not help you to understand anything.
How about the Vietnames Thank the Khmers people and Sihanouk for using Cambodia territory during the war.
Sihanouk once said "YUON Chea Satt Kropeur" Now Sihanouk is on his way to visit the croc again?
Wow, I can't believe our former king do this.
He must remind the YUON to Co-Khmer Krom with Cambodia if he wants to rebuild his image and reputation that he ignore this lands during the 50's until now.
United Khmer for Liberation of Khmer Krom,
Former king Sihanouk got his brain DEAD. One time, Vietnam was a crocodile, he said, but now he makes friend with this crocodile. What is he really doing to himself, his country, and his people who severely suffer by his action from 1960-1975? By far, he should be responsible for the killing field and all of this mess in our country. He is the worse king in Khmer history.
Who still call this man a king? who still give him credit for what he was doing? who still call him a father of a nation? Personally, I call him a murder!!
This went from being King Father to King DESTROYER!!!!!! Like a KID he build up his LEGOS and when it is finished, he break them all apart again.
I am so proud for yuon.វាយកដីកម្ពុជាក្រោម។ វាយកកោះត្រល់។ វាបោះបង្គោលព្រំប្រទល់ក្នុងដីខ្មែរ។ វាបំផ្លាញទន្លេសាប ។ឥឡូវស្ដេចខ្មែរ ទាំងឪ ទាំងម៉ែ ទាំងកូន ទៅអរគុណយួនទៀត។ក្នុងរវាង៥០ទៀត បើខ្មែរមិនក្លាយជាចាម ឲ្យបៀមអាចម័មកព្រោះដាក់ក្ដិតអញ។
Please every one do not blame pra kone A NA? He is a noble grand son in law. He went to pay the respect his wife ( Poun Leak singha nouk !!!)great grand parents cemetery alright!!!
your opposition will die in the future!
Due to respect, but perhaps the Youn should built a little tomb beside the old fart's freind, uncle Ho in Hanio. In case he has never made it back to Srock Khmer. This is worht a while for all Khmers around the world to celebrate for if it is truely happen.
I think we ,the khmere race, will be GONE from the world map if the current trend is allowed to go forward.
I don't think so 1:35AM.This guy,sihanouk,really know how to live longer.Beside,he has good medical care,he love to sing,he love music,he love women etc ...he has no stress whatsoever.
Dear all Brothers and Sisters Khmer compatriots,
You should understand that Sihanouk is not a good king; he is the worse of the entire king in Khmer history. We should know that he got the Throne because of the French under the influence of the Vietnamese’s plans for swallowing Cambodia. Throughout his political action, he did every thing to support Vietnamese, who are the enemies of Cambodians, to achieve their goal. Sihanouk can not be counted as a king of Cambodia, but he can be named an evil of Cambodians. He is worse than Chey Chettha no. II because Chey Chettha no. II only gave some part of Cambodia to Vietnamese, but this king Sihanouk allowed Vietnamese to swallow the whole Cambodia through his conspiracy. He is a traitor of Cambodia. He should not be respect, but punished.
I never accept him as my king or Cambodian king because he is a crok any way.

3:26 AM GET LOST WELL YA!
I thought that the visit was supposed to be a private one. So what is this about thanking Cambodia for this, adn thanking Vietnam for that? A private visit should not include any country-to-country discussions. What liers Sihanouk and his minders turn out to be.
This king shit lost his mind. Yes! it should be other way around. Idiot king always cheated by ah youn and thai.
Ah sdech crok + Ah Trarcheak Sar =
Khmer lost land.
Why Ah Sihanouk visits Youn before he dies? Ah Chhom Kourt Lourng Nis can't stop serving Youn even he barely can walk.
I never respect this idiot stupid person who trashed American and prayed Youn and China. No wonder we don't get support from American admin because of this idiot king and Ah Kwak Hun Sen.
Khmer leaders are dumb ass and no one are competent to lead the country. They always serve Youn including Ah Khmer people inside and oversea who support Hun Sen.
If you are indirectly or directly like Hun Sen, You're one of the Youn agent.
If you're with a thief, even you don't steal, You're a thief too.
I never support Hun Sen and his regime. Some Khmer in DC even go to celebrate in Khmer embassy because they want to be part of Youn regime.
I never visit Ah Khmer embassy because it serves Youn interest.
8:52AM,
I agree with you.
Wait a minute! Soon-to-be-death Sihanouk visits Ghost Ho Chi Minh, is to find his way to hell!!!Ghost Ho Chi Minh is currently in hell and is still waiting for Sihanouk to join him in hell to eternity.
Dictator Hun Sen is ah Vietcongs prostitute #1. Ah Sihanouk is ah Vietcongs prostitute #2. Ah Sihamoni is ah Vietcongs prostitute #3.
The Norodoms have to be annihilated, because this useless family only serves foreigners.
KHMER Angkor
Trust me, it's all about diplomacy.
People in here can't understand that..
Many readers understood the visit of King Sihanouk except of a few trolls calling themselves Khmer Angkam. I am ashamed to write Khmer Angkor for such a dumb person like 9;45Am so I called this one Khmer Angkam. Khmer Angkam are stupid but Khmer Angkor are smart.
They when to to receive new order from their boss. Do you know Sihanouk called on KR for cooperation to ousted Lon Nol. KR are the slave of VN. The current government head are the former of KR. Thus, Cambodia is still under leading by KR. Therefore, Cambodia is still the slave dog of VN. The former king's wife is VN blood, and the current king is the son of VN blood. So, that why our king and former king/wife headed to VN to receive new order. Please don't be surprised.
SDACH KHMER GOES TO FIND A VIETNAMESE WIFE OR MONICH GOES TO VISIT HER RELATIVES...
A lot of ignorant sickos comment on this site! I wonder why that is?
