Xi made the remarks during a meeting with Cambodian People’s Party President and Senate President Samdech Techo Hun Sen.

History has shown the unstoppable trend towards a multipolar world, economic globalization and cultural diversity, Xi said, adding that no country wants to return to isolation.

The trade wars undermine the multilateral trading system and disrupt the global economic order, Xi said, urging all countries to unite and firmly retain control of national security and development, uphold mutual respect, pursue win-win cooperation and common development, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

He also pointed out that building a China-Cambodia community with a shared future is a choice of history and the people.

China and Cambodia are not only friendly neighbors but also ironclad friends, he said, noting that both countries are currently at a critical stage of national development.

Xi said that the two sides should keep in mind the well-being of their people and the progress of humanity, strive to set an example for building a community with a shared future for mankind as they advance their respective modernization endeavors, and join hands to become forces for peace, stability and progress in a world undergoing profound transformations unseen in a century.

China believes that Cambodia’s path to national development and revitalization will continue to widen, and will, as always, support the Cambodian People’s Party in leading the Cambodian people to maintain national stability and economic development, Xi said. He added that China supports Cambodia in playing a more important role on the regional and international stage.

As Asia embarks on a new journey of collective revitalization, Xi noted, China will continue to follow the principles of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, as well as the policy of developing friendship and partnerships with neighboring countries.

China will maintain the continuity and stability of its neighborhood diplomacy, deepen friendly cooperation with neighboring countries, and work to share the fruits of Chinese modernization more widely across the region, promote the building of a community with a shared future with neighboring countries, and advance Asia’s modernization.
