🌏 In a recent press briefing, a spokesperson from the Chinese Foreign Ministry slammed actions aimed at tarnishing the strong friendship between China and Cambodia. 🇨🇳🤝🇰🇭
The spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, emphasized that China will not tolerate any deliberate efforts to undermine the bond between the two nations. He highlighted that recent remarks from certain media accounts falsely claimed that Cambodian leaders are choosing sides between China and the United States, suggesting that major cooperation projects are stalling. 🚫🗣️
Guo clarified that these allegations are baseless and intended to deliberately vilify the longstanding friendship. He stressed that China and Cambodia share an ironclad bond, supporting each other through thick and thin. This time-honored relationship, cultivated by the older generation of leaders, has stood the test of changing global landscapes and continues to benefit both countries. 🌟
Furthermore, China remains Cambodia's largest source of foreign investment and trading partner, with bilateral trade soaring nearly four times in the past decade. 📈💼
Both nations are focused on high-quality development, enhancing mutual trust, and advancing key cooperation projects like the \"Diamond Hexagon\" framework and the \"Industrial Development Corridor.\" These initiatives aim to boost each country's modernization and address international and regional challenges together. 🔧🏗️
Guo concluded by reaffirming that the friendship between China and Cambodia is unshakeable. Any attempts to smear this relationship will face legal consequences, ensuring the continued strong ties between the two nations. 🛡️⚖️
