He spoke highly of China's policy of not devaluing Renminbi, the Chinese currency, during the Asian financial crisis in the 1998-1999 period. "This is a responsible attitude and has made great contributions to the southeast Asian countries to tide over the crisis," he added.

The friendship not only meets the fundamental interests of the two peoples, but also benefits the unity and cooperation among the developing countries, Hun Sen said.
