China, Cambodian parties vow to strengthen cooperation

The leaders of China and Cambodian political parties on Saturday in Phnom Penh vowed to further strengthen their cooperation.

Say Chhum, a member of the Permanent Committee of the Central Committee of Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and Nheik Bun Chhay, FUNCINPEC party's secretary-general, on Saturday separately met with visiting Chinese party delegation headed by He Yiting, deputy director of the Research Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

The leaders of Cambodia's two parties highly valued the Sino- Cambodian relations and the great progress made by China in various fields during the period of its 10th five-year plan.

They also thanked the Chinese government and the people for their sincere assistance and support for the country's reconstruction and development in both social and economic sectors.

Say Chhum and Nheik Bun Chhay reaffirmed that the ruling CPP and FUNCINPEC parties will continue to stick to the one China policy and to further develop the traditional friendly and cooperative relationship between Cambodia and China.

He Yiting expressed his thanks for Cambodia's adherence to the one China policy. He said that China, as a good neighbor, good friend and good partner to Cambodia, will continue as always to support Cambodia to seek its own development path, as well as its efforts to develop its economy and improve people's living standards.

He Yiting and his delegation arrived here Friday afternoon on a four-day goodwill visit as guest of the CPP and the FUNCINPEC party.
