Former Prime Minister Hun Sen, president of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), and former Russian Federation President Dmitry Medvedev, now chairman of the ruling United Russia Party, met for a 20-minute virtual discussion on bilateral and multilateral cooperation on January 22.

The leaders of the two parties spoken highly of their party-to-party relations and close collaboration over the past 25 years, according to a social media post by Hun Sen.

Both leaders committed to continued mutual support on international cooperation, mutual interests, and the strengthening of regional and global multilateralism.

“The leaders of both parties saw the necessity of cooperating to combat possible colour revolutions. This is an important point which must be considered, because interference in internal affairs threatens the national security of each country. 

“Therefore, it is necessary to be united to prevent interference in internal affairs, through the exchange of experience, wherever possible,” said the post.

Hun Sen and Medvedev also discussed other fields of bilateral and multilateral cooperation at length, including possible exchanges of visits between the leadership of both parties.
