President Xi's Southeast Asia moment: A new chapter in China-Cambodia relations

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on April 17 for a state visit at the invitation of King Norodom Sihamoni. He concluded the visit on April 18, with both countries agreeing to build an all-weather China-Cambodia community with a shared future in the new era. During the visit, the two sides signed more than 30 bilateral cooperation documents covering areas such as production and supply chain cooperation, artificial intelligence, development assistance, customs inspection and quarantine, as well as health and media.

Coinciding with Cambodia's traditional New Year, the visit marks a new milestone in the long-standing, all-weather strategic partnership between the two nations.
