He also recommended that the three countries continue to enhance their exchanges at various levels, organize rotational meetings to discuss border peace, friendship, and cooperative development, and further strengthen public outreach to raise awareness among their populations - especially the youth about the deep-rooted solidarity and historical ties among their peoples. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of educating the public on border territorial issues and the significance of legal documents pertaining to borders.

The three parties agreed to continue promoting information dissemination, public education, and fostering a deep understanding and pride among the people - especially the youth and students about the enduring historical solidarity among Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. They committed to encouraging cooperation among the front organizations at various levels through activities such as enhancing exchanges and mutual support between border provinces and districts, and developing effective infrastructure connectivity. They also aimed to facilitate the participation of entrepreneurs and businesses from all three countries in socio-economic development, support agricultural commercialization in border regions, organize trade fairs, and exchange high-quality products to improve living standards, combat superstitions, and prevent illegal religious propaganda.

Furthermore, they encouraged the establishment of friendship associations and various forms of cooperation among the front organizations in border provinces, cities, and districts to reinforce friendship, solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation.
