Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister called on all parties to support multilateralism and seek solutions to conflicts through dialog on the sidelines of the 11th Beijing Xiangshan Forum.
Tea Seiha, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense of Cambodia, was in China to attend the high-level security and defense forum in the Asia-Pacific in the Chinese capital from Thursday to Saturday.
In an interview with China Central Television during the event, Tea Seiha said the forum has built a platform for countries to strengthen cooperation and promote world peace.
"Cambodia has suffered from a long civil war, which caused a severe brain drain and seriously damaged the infrastructure. Therefore, this forum has provided an opportunity for Cambodia to share the lessons of its history in the international arena. The forum has not only allowed Cambodia to deepen its cooperation with countries in the region, such as neighboring countries Laos and Vietnam, but has played China's important role in helping Cambodia improve its national security and peace maintenance capabilities," he said.
Talking about how to resolve the ongoing conflicts around the globe, Tea Seiha said countries should work together to move towards multipolarity and maintain regional stability.
"We should support multilateralism by bringing issues together, jointly analyzing the root causes of problems, and seeking solutions through dialog. At the same time, I think all parties have also put forward important proposals, that is, we should pursue multilateralism, not seek interference in other countries' internal affairs and not invade other countries' territory," he said.
