China, Cambodia Sign $6.4 Bln Deals on Wu's Visit [-Cambodia is now entrenched deep in the Chinese camp, what will Vietnam do?]

2010-11-05
Xinhua

China and Cambodia on Thursday inked 6.4-billion-U.S. dollars deals ranging from infrastructure construction to energy exploration.

A total of 16 deals were signed after the hour-long talks between top Chinese legislator Wu Bangguo and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen late Thursday afternoon.

The package of deals covered such key areas of bilateral cooperation as infrastructure construction, water resources development, telecommunication technology and energy exploration among others.

In earlier talks, Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), the country's top legislature, reviewed the smooth growth of China-Cambodia ties since the two countries forged diplomatic ties in 1958.

"Particularly in recent years, bilateral relations have developed rapidly," Wu said, highlighting strong trust, sincere cooperation and mutual support.

Wu underlined China's commitment to developing ties with Cambodia, labeling the southeast Asian country as a reliable neighbor, friend and brother.

Hun Sen said China's rapid growth benefited the people and helped lift the regional and world economy out of the downturn.

On the economic front, Wu said growing economic cooperation would add continuous momentum to bilateral relations.

Wu proposed the two countries deepen agriculture cooperation, encouraging Chinese businesses to expand agricultural products trade with Cambodia and supporting Cambodia to upgrade its inspection and quarantine capability on agricultural products.

The top legislator called for stronger infrastructure construction cooperation, urging Chinese businesses to play a bigger part in Cambodian transportation, electricity and telecommunications construction.

Wu said Chinese financial institutions would like to provide financial support, calling for both sides to explore new ways of finance.

He also pinned hope on stronger investment and industrial cooperation, appealing for faster construction of a special economic zone at Sihanouk Port, which Chinese businesses got involved in building.

Hun Sen agreed with Wu, saying the two countries should work more closely in agriculture, infrastructure, economic zone construction and resources development.

Hun Sen reaffirmed Cambodia's adherence to the one-China policy, saying Cambodia banned any forces from separating China.

Both Wu and Hun Sen agreed that the international situation was undergoing profound changes, saying the two countries should step up cooperation between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and east Asian cooperation.

Earlier Thursday, Wu also met with Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni and legislative leaders.

Wu arrived in Phnom Penh on Wednesday afternoon. Cambodia is the first leg of Wu's three-nation visit to Southeast Asia, which will also take him to Indonesia and Thailand.

For a fistful of Yuans: We respect the sovereignty of our "friends" ... even though we used to call them "evil" in the past

Cambodia's ruling party reiterates support for one-China policy

The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) on Wednesday in Phnom Penh issued a statement to reiterate its adherence to the one-China policy and said no to the Taiwan authority's efforts to re-open its representative office in Cambodia.

"For the last many years, we have noticed that there were many efforts by Taiwan to re-open its representative office in Cambodia. All these efforts didn't effect, because the Royal Government of Cambodia, which is led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, has always strictly respected the one-China policy and CPP also adheres to the same stance," said the statement.

CPP's stance is based on the principle of sovereignty, said the statement, adding that "we respect the sovereignty of our friends, our friends will also respect our sovereignty. The respect of our friends' sovereignty is as precious as the respect of our own sovereignty."

The principle of one-China policy can't be discussed, bargained and exchanged and it is the principle that we can't walk back from, it said.

"CPP would like to reiterate the stance that we accept the one-China policy only. We only recognize the People's Republic of China, which has official diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Cambodia and wide-ranging relations in other sectors," it said.

While CPP is still in power, Cambodia will strictly respect the one-China policy and will not allow any presence of representative office of Taiwan in Cambodia, it said.

"We can only accept the presence of Taiwanese business people and investors in their private capacities," it added.

From "the evil China" to only in the "One China Policy" we trust: CPP

Chea Sim rejects Taiwan diplomatic representation in Cambodia

The CPP boss today reaffirms his support for the “One China Policy.”

Today, the CPP reaffirmed that it would not allow “that a representative office of Taiwan sees the daylight in Cambodia as long as he is in power.” “The One China Policy which we adhere to, is not negotiable, nor can it be sold. It’s a policy that we cannot revisit. We only accept individual Taiwanese businessmen and investors. The CPP reaffirms its position: we recognize One China only, the People’s Republic of China, with which we maintain tight relationships. As long as the CPP holds power, there will be no representative office of Taiwan in Cambodia,” Chea Sim, the CPP boss, insisted. In a televised communiqué, Chea Sim stressed that the CPP noted “that there will always be attempts made to set up this (Taiwan representation) office in the kingdom, and this since several years ago.” Without criticizing directly this position (by the CPP), opposition leader Sam Rainsy is pointing to neighboring countries as example to the CPP: “in Thailand and in Vietnam, the Taiwanese were able to open representation offices.” “This is not only a political issue. We must also take into consideration the economic interest of our citizens,” Sam Rainsy indicated outside of the plenary session of the National Assembly. Cambodia recently declared that it would not support Taiwan’s attempt to obtain a UN seat. China said that it stands ready to take military action if Taiwan were to declare its autonomy one day.
