With similarities in history and geography, Vietnamese and Cambodian women have had a long standing history of friendly cooperation, particularly since 1979, when the Cambodian Women for Peace and Development organization was established (previously the Cambodia Women’s Union).

As close neighbors, the people of Vietnam and Laos have had a long-standing relationship based on their shared struggle for national liberation in the past, and national construction and defense at present. The friendship between the people of Vietnam and Laos has been characterized by solidarity. Specifically among women who consider themselves comrades and sisters, this friendship is continuing to grow stronger. As a large force in society, generations of Vietnamese and Lao women play an important role in building, strengthening, and developing the friendly relations characteristic of the two nations.
