PHNOM PENH, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- A Communist Party of China (CPC) senior official and Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni Saturday afternoon 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.
