Heads up! On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi sat down with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol in Beijing 🤝. The goal? To supercharge ties and deliver real results for both sides.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the Chinese mainland is ready to step up high-level exchanges and build even more trust under the leaders' strategic roadmap 🚀.
Top on the agenda: fast-tracking major cooperation projects like the Industrial Development Corridor – think better transport links and tech hubs – and the Fish and Rice Corridor, which aims to boost agricultural trade 🌾🍚. Both offer big wins for jobs and growth.
They also agreed to push back against unfair trade tactics and coercive tariffs. Both sides stand united against bullies who try to bend the rules to their will ✊.
Chanthol thanked the Chinese mainland for years of support and pledged Cambodia's full commitment to high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. He's eyeing an all-weather Cambodia-China community that delivers when it counts.
On regional stability, Wang and Chanthol discussed the border tensions between Cambodia and Thailand. The Chinese mainland hopes both neighbours will speed up reconciliation talks, and it's ready to help if asked 🕊️.
With both sides keen to settle disputes peacefully, this meeting sets a positive tone for deeper ties across Southeast Asia. Stay tuned!
