Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen will land in Beijing's International Airport Wednesday afternoon as he starts a visit to China amid the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

Earlier in the week, the Cambodian PM said he plans to visit Cambodian students in the Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, as long as the plan is permitted by the Chinese side.

The visit is to show the students warmth and to make sure they are not scared of the novel coronavirus, he said in his Facebook post.
