On December 3, 2024, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and President Xi Jinping held talks with President of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and President of the Senate of Cambodia Samdech Techo Hun Sen at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing.

Xi Jinping said that the ironclad friendship between China and Cambodia is of high quality and fully conforms to the common interests of the two peoples. China has always regarded Cambodia as a priority in its neighborhood diplomacy and is ready to work together with Cambodia to build a high-quality, high-level and high-standard China-Cambodia community with a shared future in the new era. First, the two sides must firmly support each other to consolidate their ironclad friendship. China will firmly support Cambodia in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security and development interests. Second, the two sides should deepen exchanges and mutual learning to seek common development and revitalization. The CPC is ready to strengthen strategic communication and cooperation in cadre training with the CPP, and to assist Cambodia in exploring a development path suited to its national conditions. Third, the two sides should seize opportunities to make new progress in win-win cooperation. China is ready to work with Cambodia to focus on the implementation of the new action plan on building a community with a shared future, continuously enrich the "diamond hexagon" cooperation framework, formulate cooperation plans for the "industrial development corridor" and the "fish and rice corridor", promote the effective implementation of key cooperative projects, and contribute to the high-quality synergy between the Belt and Road Initiative and Cambodia's Pentagonal Strategy.

Xi Jinping pointed out that at present, the international situation is fraught with changes and chaos, and global challenges are emerging one after another, testing the responses and choices of all countries. Both China and Cambodia are committed to being the forces for peace, development and progress in the world. China will continue to support Cambodia in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs to boost the strength of the Global South. China supports ASEAN in upholding its strategic autonomy and maintaining its centrality, firmly opposes external forces' introduction of Cold War mentality into the region, and unswervingly promotes ASEAN integration and community building. China is ready to work with Cambodia with firm determination to heighten the bottom-line mentality, strengthen collaboration and coordination, and jointly address various risks.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen said that the Cambodia-China friendship was jointly established by the elder generation of leaders of both sides and has withstood the test of history and time. The Cambodia-China community with a shared future is in the common interests of both sides. The Cambodian side thanked the Chinese side for its invaluable support and assistance in Cambodia's political, economic and social development over the years. He said, China is Cambodia's most trusted friend, and friendship with China is a firm political consensus within the CPP, which will not undergo any changes with intergenerational leadership transitions in Cambodia. Cambodia will continue to firmly pursue the one-China principle, support China in safeguarding its core interests, and is ready to comprehensively strengthen party-to-party exchanges with China, deepen political mutual trust, promote practical cooperation in various fields, and enhance youth, people-to-people and cultural exchanges, in a bid to better benefit the two peoples. Cambodia is ready to strengthen coordination and cooperation with China on international and regional affairs.
