Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice-Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia Sun Chanthol on Monday, who is in China to attend the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) in Xiamen City, east China's Fujian Province.
Han said that Chinese President Xi Jinping recently met with Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen and Prime Minister Hun Manet, drawing a grand blueprint for building a China-Cambodia community with a shared future in the new era.
China is ready to work with Cambodia to implement the important consensus reached by the two leaders, fully leveraging the China-Cambodia Intergovernmental Coordination Committee, further deepen practical cooperation in various fields, promote trade and investment integration, and continue to advance the friendly and cooperative relations between the two sides, he said.
Sun Chanthol said Cambodia and China enjoy profound friendship and have always trusted and supported each other.
Cambodia reaffirmed its commitment to the one-China principle and expressed readiness to deepen cooperation with China in economy, trade, investment, tourism, and combating cyber fraud, while actively participating in Belt and Road cooperation to benefit the two peoples, he said.

The U.S. Department of State said Saturday it had updated travel advisories for more than a dozen Middle East countries, urging Americans to reconsider travel to the region and prepare for sudden disruptions amid escalating attacks by Yemen's Houthi group.
Among those covered are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Lebanon and Israel. Several U.S. embassies have issued security alerts of their own in recent days, citing the rising tensions.
The move came as the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition traded heavy fire the same day.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea said in a statement that the group launched seven missile and drone attacks targeting airports, oil facilities and a military base in the Saudi cities of Riyadh, Yanbu, Rabigh, Dammam, Najran and Khamis Mushait.
Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition announced it had intercepted and destroyed several missiles fired toward Riyadh, Taif and Yanbu, as well as a drone in the Eastern Province.
The Houthis said Saturday's strikes came in response to what they described as 100 Saudi airstrikes over the previous 24 hours on Houthi-held areas of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa and the Red Sea port city of Mocha in the southwestern province of Taiz.
In a separate statement, Sarea said Houthi forces had also targeted what he called Saudi-backed "mobilizations" at Al-Nasr camp and a naval military base in the southern port city of Aden, where Yemen's government is based.
