The Chinese armed forces were willing to further boost friendly and cooperative relations with their Cambodian counterparts, said a senior Chinese military official Friday.

Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister Liang Guanglie made the remark in a meeting with visiting Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Tea Banh in Beijing.

Liang hailed the good relations between China and Cambodia, with close high-level contact and expanding areas of cooperation.

Recent years had witnessed the smooth development of China-Cambodia military ties, with frequent visits on various levels and exchanges in military training, education and logistics, said Liang.

China would like to work with Cambodia to continuously deepen the friendship and cooperation between the two nations and two armed forces, Liang added.

Tea Banh said Cambodia appreciated China's support and help with Cambodia's development and national defense building and was ready to enhance cooperation with China.

Cambodia would continue to firmly adhere to the one-China policy, Tea Banh said.

He also expressed the hope to further promote military cooperation and exchanges between Cambodia and China.

Tea Banh trips to China is to observe, analyze, and exam weapons that would be suitable for Cambodian military. Rumor was, Cambodian Royal Air Force had been sending recruits to China to become pilots to fly the Chinese latest fighter aircrafts. Also not too long ago, top Cambodian military official(Tea Banh ?) made an unoffical announcement to look into purchasing some Chinese latest jet fighter aircrafts(J-10?) from China. The next up and coming world super power will be China, currently China is Asia super power. Just as certain nation in the world chooses America as their partner, Cambodia chooses
China. Cambodia is a neutral country past and present. She makes friend with some of the most controversial nation in the world such as America, China, India, North
Korea, and Iran. What importnant to is the mutual benefit between those nations to Cambodia. China is being very understanding for Cambodia and shows great generosity for Cambodia's needs. If Cambodia needed assistant in economic or military rebuilding to defense herself, China is very much eager to help. Others might see that as otherwise but Cambodia sees that as turning to an old friend for help when needed one.
