In a significant stride towards bolstering bilateral relations, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and the newly appointed Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia, Wang Wenbin, have pledged to deepen the cooperation between their nations, aiming to secure newfound benefits for both countries and their citizens. This commitment was solidified during a formal meeting held on Monday, July 22, at the Peace Palace, where the Premier extended a warm reception to Ambassador Wang.
The interaction was marked by mutual expressions of goodwill and the shared objective of advancing Cambodia-China relations to new heights. Prime Minister Hun Manet lauded Ambassador Wang Wenbin upon his appointment, expressing optimism that this diplomatic tenure would witness a considerable strengthening and expansion of ties between the two countries.
Ambassador Wang, in turn, acknowledged the remarkable strides made by the Royal Government of Cambodia under Hun Manet’s leadership, toward achieving notable progress in national development and enhancing the quality of life for the Cambodian people. He assured the Premier of his dedication to contributing towards a more vigorous developmental phase and improved standards of living in Cambodia, reflecting the close-knit relationship and support from China.
The discussions underscored a mutual appreciation of the enduring and sturdy relationship that has flourished over the years between Cambodia and China. Both parties delved into potential strategies to push the boundaries of their collaboration across a diverse array of sectors. Key areas identified for heightened cooperation included defence and security, energy, tourism, fostering people-to-people exchanges, as well as bolstering economic, trade, agricultural, industrial, and technological partnerships. Notably, the talks also featured dialogue on developing the “fish and rice corridor,” a symbolic and practical initiative aiming to enhance food security and agricultural innovation.
This latest meeting between Prime Minister Hun Manet and Ambassador Wang Wenbin is not merely a ceremonial gesture but a reaffirmation of the strong will of both Cambodia and China to work closely for the mutual prosperity of their nations and peoples. By identifying new areas of cooperation and reinforcing existing ones, both countries are set on a path of shared progress and continued friendship, promising a future of collaborative success and collective benefits.
