Countries set to enrich Diamond Hexagon collaboration

President Xi Jinping stressed on Tuesday Beijing's commitment to building a high-quality, high-standard and high-level China-Cambodia community with a shared future in the new era, saying that the Southeast Asian country has always been a priority in the nation's neighborhood diplomacy.

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during talks in Beijing with Cambodian People's Party President and Senate President Samdech Techo Hun Sen, who started a three-day visit to China on Monday.

The visit marks Hun Sen's first trip to China in his capacity as president of the Cambodian Senate since he stepped down as prime minister in August 2023.
