A Communist Party of China (CPC) senior official and Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni Sunday underscored the traditional friendship between the two countries, which they said should be carried on by future generations.
Zhou Yongkang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and also secretary of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Central Committee, told the king at their meeting that it is the common wish of the two peoples to further consolidate the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Cambodia as the 21st century has entered the second decade.
Deepening that relationship is also in the fundamental interests of both sides and conducive to regional peace, stability and prosperity, he said.
The profound friendship fostered by the Cambodian royal family and generations of Chinese leadership and time-tested in the changing global situation is the common treasure of the two nations and the two peoples, Zhou said. Such a traditional bond should be passed on to future generations, and it is hoped that the king could visit China from time to time, he said.
Zhou said China will, as always, back Cambodia's efforts to preserve national unity, develop its economy and improve people's well-being, and respect Cambodia's own choice for the development path that best suits its national conditions.
He noted that since Sihamoni ascended the throne in 2004, Cambodia has maintained political stability and economic growth, with improving living standards and rising international status. He said he believes that under the leadership of the king and Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Southeast Asian nation would achieve even greater progress.
For his part, Sihamoni said the Cambodian people are always grateful for China's enduring support and assistance in all aspects, and for the good treatment his parents Norodom Sihanouk and Norodom Monineath Sihanouk received in Beijing.
He said the Cambodian royal family has always been committed to promoting the bilateral friendship, while firmly adhering to the one-China policy and actively working with its close Chinese friends in a unremitting effort to consolidate the bilateral ties and inject new momentums to that relationship.
Zhou arrived here late Friday for an official goodwill visit.
Cambodia is the third leg of Zhou's five-nation Asian tour after Nepal and Laos. He is set to leave Cambodia on Sunday and continue his visit to Tajikistan and Mongolia.

I am wondering what will happen to the relationships between Cambodia and China and Cambodia and Vietnam if the CPP lose the next General Election because anti-CPP is also anti- China and Vietnam .
To: 4:50 PM
All political parties in Cambodia should be wise, realistic and flexible in dealing with all countries around the world, including China, the US, Vietnam and Thailand etc...
They should be able to build win/win partnerships with friends and foes or former foes.
May China use its standing, power and influence to preserve Cambodia's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and overall developments.

China played the big part in Khmer Rouge regime too, and almost 2000000 lives have been lost . Did you know that too ?
By the way , 90 % of Cambodian are Buddists .
The strange thing I have observed.
China warned the US not to meet Dala Lama, then the US sent Obama to greet Dala Lama, not even that the US talked to Dala Lama to retire and the US installed a first PM exile for Tibet.
China warned the US not to sell weapons to Taiwan, then the US sold arms to Taiwan.
The US owed China more than 14 Trillion USD and just borrowed recently many Billion USD, China gave it again.
Wonder why China stays quiet and keeps letting the US borrowing more money?
You know I really am clueless about the geopolitics whatsoever.
A secret document just recently released by GWU about Kissinger and Zhou En Lai talking to each other on the phone laughing while we were bombed by many thousand bombs during Vietnam war, and Kissinger said to his friend Zhou En Lai "you take S Vietnam is OK".
But then the crack smoker Ho Chi Minh by the helps of Soviet took it before China.
Their war games left us million died and starved to death.
Now another Zhou promised us something new again?
I am clueless about this world. Our lives are too cheap.
