  Today, under the strategic guidance of the leaders of the two countries, China-Cambodia relations have been further energized and the building of the China-Cambodia community with a shared future has reaped bumper harvests, bringing tangible benefits to the two peoples and contributing to peace and prosperity in the region and beyond.

  BEIJING, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Rice, bananas, basa fish -- quality Cambodian products as such have appeared more frequently on the Chinese customers' shopping lists, a phenomenon attesting the growing trade between the two countries in recent years.

  Official figures showed that facilitated by the China-Cambodia Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), both of which came into effect in January last year, two-way trade between the two sides hit a record high again in 2022, expanding 17.5 percent year on year to 16.02 billion U.S. dollars.

  The flourishing trade relationship, as part of the China-Cambodia traditional friendship forged and carefully nurtured by the elder generations of Chinese and Cambodian leaders, is a treasure shared by the two peoples.

  IRON-CLAD FRIENDS

  "It gives me great pleasure to work with you to realize our three-year appointment and open a new era of building a China-Cambodia community with a shared future at the start of spring," Chinese President Xi Jinping said when meeting with Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia Hun Sen on Friday in Beijing.

  Three years ago, Hun Sen visited China as a token of support and stood firmly with the Chinese people in their fight against COVID-19. The realization of the three-year appointment has witnessed the iron-clad friendship between the two countries.

  Joseph Matthews, a senior professor at the BELTEI International University in Phnom Penh, said the close and special relationship between Cambodia and China is characterized by deep historical feelings.

  "Long-term political mutual trust and equal treatment make Cambodia and China iron-clad friends," he said.

  China-Cambodia relations have stood the test of times over the past 65 years. Xi has maintained frequent interactions with Cambodian leaders to draw the blueprint for closer relationship of the two countries.

  In April 2019, China and Cambodia took the lead in signing an action plan for building a community with a shared future. Under the guidance of the head-of-state diplomacy, China-Cambodia relations have been elevated to new levels, and the building of a community with a shared future has yielded fruitful results.

  China has always given full support and assistance to Cambodia's development, helping the country build its first four-lane expressway, first cement factory, first thermal power station, and its largest hydropower station. During China's toughest anti-pandemic days, King Sihamoni and Queen Mother Monineath offered generous support for China.

  Facing major global changes and the pandemic, both unseen in a century, China and Cambodia have firmly promoted the building of a community with a shared future, setting an example of forging a new type of international relations, Xi said in a phone conversation with Hun Sen last year.

  COOPERATION BEARS FRUIT

  Every day, Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway witnesses hundreds of vehicles speeding over. The first-ever expressway in Cambodia is one of the many landmark achievements the two countries made under the framework of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.

  The 187-km Chinese-invested freeway connecting Cambodia's capital city of Phnom Penh to the international deep-water seaport in Sihanoukville attracted more than 1 million vehicles in the first three months since it was open to the public in October last year.
