Visiting Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, the first foreign leader to visit China since the Spring Festival, knows that the vibrant Beijing of February 2023 is completely different from the silent Beijing of February 2020, when he came to show solidarity with China's fight against the pandemic and reassure Cambodians in China. In this exclusive episode of "Leaders Talk," he talks to CGTN's Zou Yun about the objectives of the current visit and the significance of direct access to China's market for Cambodia. Cambodia's first expressway and other key infrastructure projects, built with Chinese assistance, have boosted development and shown why no other country can take China's place. He also talks about the similarities between Chinese President Xi Jinping's stance on corruption and Cambodia's, and the rise of Chinese language learning in Cambodia.
