This forum lasts for two days. More than 100 experts and scholars from China-Cambodia think tanks and academic circles conducted in-depth discussions on issues such as regional cooperation, economic corridor construction, tourism cooperation and cultural exchanges, and put forward development suggestions for the creation of the China-Cambodia "Diamond Six-Side" cooperation structure.
The guests at the meeting said that China and Cambodia are hard-core friends who share weal and woe and help each other, and their bilateral relations have maintained a high-level development for a long time. China and Cambodia take political mutual trust as the construction of a community with a shared future, strengthen the foundation with economic and trade cooperation as the construction of a community with a shared future, and unite their hearts and minds with cultural exchange as the construction of a community with a shared future. Think tank exchanges are an important part of cultural exchanges and play a unique role in enhancing policy communication, promoting pragmatic cooperation, and promoting people-to-people communication.
Song Du, director of the Royal Academy of Cambodia, said that China has always supported Cambodia to maintain national stability and promote economic development. Chinese companies actively participate in Cambodia's infrastructure construction and make important contributions to Cambodia's economic development and people's lives through investment in multiple fields. Cambodia has also always firmly supported China, firmly adhered to the one-China principle, supported the "Belt and Road" initiative, supported the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to promote connectivity in the ASEAN region, and supported a number of global initiatives proposed by China based on the principle of multilateralism. Faced with the rising protectionism, Cambodia-China bilateral relations have become a model of friendly coexistence and cooperation. Sovanratana, State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in Cambodia, said that Cambodia-China friendship has been carefully cultivated by generations of leaders and has developed into an unbreakable hardcore friendship.
Despite the changing international situation, the two countries have always maintained high-frequency high-level exchanges and timely communication. Cambodia-China cooperation is crucial to Cambodia's vision to become a high-income country by 2050, and jointly building the "Belt and Road" is of strategic significance to Cambodia's infrastructure construction. The two countries have also made significant progress in cooperation in the fields of education, culture, health, tourism, agriculture, scientific and technological innovation.
