KANDAL, Cambodia, March 25 — Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said
Monday that he will pay an official visit to China early next month to
meet with new Chinese leaders for talks on further enhancing bilateral
relations.
The premier said that he is scheduled to meet with President Xi
Jinping in Boao, a coastal town in south China’s Hainan Province, on
April 7 before heading to Beijing on April 8 to hold an official talk
with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.
“I hope that new Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang
will continue to support Cambodia in the development of infrastructure
including roads and bridges,” Hun Sen said during a groundbreaking for
the construction of the 7th Cambodia-China Friendship Bridge in southern
Kandal province.
“I am very pleased that Cambodia-China relation has reached the level
of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership of Cooperation since 2010
and hope that the relation will be as solid as bridges across the
rivers,” the premier said, recalling that the two countries’ ties were
established in 1958 by Cambodia’s late former King Norodom Sihanouk and
former Chinese President Mao Zedong as well as former Premier Zhou
Enlai.
“Now, it is in the period of King Norodom Sihamoni and I will continue to foster the ties with Chinese leaders,” he said.
