Senior leaders of China and Cambodia on Tuesday underscored the traditional
friendship between the two neighbours.
"Let's work more closely to take our five-decade bilateral friendship and
cooperation to a new high," China's top legislator Wu Bangguo told the
President of the Cambodian Senate, Chea Sim.
In their talks in the Great Hall of the People, Wu, chairman of the
National People's Congress Standing Committee, reviewed the sound development
of China-Cambodia ties, citing political trust, substantive cooperation and
support on important issues.
In response, Sim said the Cambodian leadership will carry forward the
bilateral traditional solidarity that was forged by the older leaders in the
previous century.
Sim said he hoped the two legislatures can step up their cooperation and
share experience on governance.
Sim's visit to Beijing coincided with the 50th anniversary of the establishment
of China-Cambodia ties.
Later Tuesday, Sim met with Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee
of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top advisory
body.
Jia said China would like to enhance its comprehensive and in-depth
cooperation with Cambodia.
The top advisor also expressed appreciation for Cambodia's adherence to the
one-China policy and opposition to "Taiwan independence".
Sim said Cambodia was grateful for the assistance China had offered and
would like to work more closely with China in politics, economics and other
fields.
