China's top political advisor Wang Huning met with Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni and his mother, former Queen Norodom Monineath Sihanouk, in Beijing on Thursday.

Wang, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, called China and Cambodia ironclad friends who share weal and woe and help each other. The leaders of the two countries have jointly led the building of a China-Cambodia community with a shared future into a new era of high quality, high level and high standards.

China is ready to make joint efforts with Cambodia to maintain high-level exchanges, enhance strategic mutual trust, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, enhance governance experience exchanges, and push for new and greater progress in building a China-Cambodia community with a shared future, Wang said.

Noting the bilateral friendship was cultivated by the older generation of leaders of both countries, Sihamoni and Monineath expressed their gratitude to the Chinese side for its selfless assistance to Cambodia.

Speaking highly of China's major concepts and initiatives to Cambodia, Sihamoni and Monineath said that the Cambodian side adhered to the one-China principle, would deepen practical cooperation with China in various fields, and join hands to build a Cambodia-China community with a shared future.
