On the morning of July 16, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council held talks at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with Cambodian Prime Minister Hong Manai, who came to China to attend the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and pay a working visit. Li Qiang said that China and Cambodia are good partners for common development and have a strong and unbreakable friendship. President Xi Jinping recently held a meeting with President Hun Sen, who is visiting China, and reached a series of important agreements. This time, he will meet with the Prime Minister to further strengthen strategic communication. The two countries have maintained good and close high-level contacts, which shows the high level of bilateral relations. China has always placed relations with Cambodia as a priority in neighboring diplomacy, and is willing to firmly support and cooperate closely with Cambodia to achieve more results in building a common destiny between China and Cambodia around the clock in the new era, and add more impetus to the modernization of the two countries. Li Qiang pointed out that China is willing to advance the “Diamond Six Sides” cooperation, the construction of the “Industrial Development Corridor”, and the “Fish and Rice Corridor” with the Cambodian side, take good care of the construction of major infrastructure projects, and continue to expand the scale of bilateral trade. China supports more powerful Chinese enterprises to invest in Cambodia, deepen cooperation in emerging fields such as new energy, artificial intelligence, digital economy, and advanced manufacturing, and jointly cultivate and expand new momentum for development. The two sides should strengthen cooperation in cultural fields such as education, culture, media, etc., so as to enhance people's acquaintance and blind dates, and at the same time work together to eradicate the breeding ground for online gambling and e-fraud crimes to better guarantee the safety of the people of the two countries. Since this year, the international situation has been turbulent and uneasy, causing a major impact on the world economy. China and Cambodia should strengthen coordination of positions on major issues, safeguard the common interests of the two countries, and work together to safeguard the multilateral trading system and international fairness and justice. Hong Manai said that under the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China, China has made great achievements in economic and social development. The traditional friendship between Cambodia and China is deep. China is Cambodia's most trusted comprehensive strategic partner and hardcore friend. No matter how the international situation changes, the Cambodian government unswervingly pursues a friendly policy towards China, unswervingly abides by the one-China principle, and believes that matters involving Taiwan, the border, Tibet, and Hong Kong are all internal affairs of China. Thanks to China for providing valuable support for Cambodia's economic and social development over a long period of time, the Cambodian side is willing to implement the important high-level consensus of the two countries, close high-level contacts, promote exchanges and cooperation in the fields of trade, investment, infrastructure construction, new energy, connectivity, culture, etc., strengthen security law enforcement cooperation to combat online gambling and electronic fraud, and promote the two countries to achieve more tangible results in building a common destiny around the clock in the new era. The Cambodian side is willing to strengthen multilateral cooperation with China to promote peaceful and stable development in the world and the region. Wu Chenglong attended the talks.
