BEIJING (Xinhua)- A senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said the party and Cambodia's co-ruling Funcinpec Party should exchange experience in improving party building at grass-roots level.

Zhou Yongkang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during a Wednesday meeting with a Funcinpec Party delegation headed by Secretary General Nhiek Bun Chhay.

Zhou hailed the friendship between China and the South Asian nation, saying China is happy about Cambodia's achievements in various fields under the leadership of the royal family and the government, Zhou's office said in a press release on Thursday.

Zhou appreciates Cambodia's support on major issues and its important role in promoting relations between China and the Association of Southeast Asian States, it said.

Nhiek Bun Chhay, also Cambodia's deputy prime minister, thanked China for its assistance, saying Cambodia will stick to the one-China policy and the Funcinpec Party will stand firm with the CPC.
