Xi called on the two countries to implement an action plan for building a community with a shared future for China and Cambodia, and constantly enhance the strategic significance of the bilateral relations.

The two sides should deepen cooperation on jointly building the Belt and Road, and construct key projects such as special economic zones, airports and highways, Xi said, adding that China welcomes Cambodia to actively participate in the building of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor.
