Cambodian PM seeks more China ties

Trade volume between China and Cambodia exceeded $5 billion last year, but the potential for cooperation still needs to be further tapped, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said through an interpreter on the sidelines of the 15th China-ASEAN Expo on Tuesday.

It was Hun Sen's 11th visit to the China-ASEAN Expo. This year's event in Nanning runs from Sept 12 to 15. It was the second time for Cambodia to be the country of honor.

Hun Sen said he attached great importance to the expo because Cambodia, as well as ASEAN countries in general, benefit from the platform, as does China. It is a win-win event that broadens cooperation in all fields, he said.
