Chinese Premier Li Keqiang says China will continue to deepen ties with Cambodia and expand collaboration in multiple areas. He said China is willing to help Cambodia with pandemic control, economic recovery and improving livelihoods. Cambodia will chair a summit of the Asia-Europe Meeting later this month. Li said China looks forward to this mechanism playing a more important role in Asia-Europe relations. Cambodian Prime Minister Hu Sen hoped for more cooperation with China including in agriculture, health and education, adding that cooperation in other fields will ensure that the Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement will take effect as scheduled next year and promote bilateral trade to a new level.
