Phnom Penh (FN), Sep. 30 – Cambodia's top institutions, including the National Assembly and the Royal Government, with the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia, celebrated the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Phnom Penh on 27 September 2024.

Representing the Royal Government, Minister of Civil Service Hun Many underlined that over the past 75 years, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China has made remarkable progress in all fields with high-quality development.

Hun Many congratulated China on achieving its first centennial goal by 2021, which was to build a moderately prosperous society. He expressed optimism that under the leadership of the CPC, with President Xi Jinping at the helm, China will continue to accomplish great feats in national development. In particular, he highlighted confidence in the achievement of China's second centennial goal—to transform China into a modern, prosperous, socialist, democratic, and harmonious nation by 2049, marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"China is now at the centre of the global economy, trade, investment, finance, manufacturing, industry, science, and innovation," Minister Hun Many underscored.

Yang Peou, Secretary General of the Royal Academy of Cambodia (RAC), stated that the establishment of the People's Republic of China 75 years ago has significantly raised China's global profile, allowing the world to recognise its growing influence. He added that China has made critical contributions on the global stage, particularly in politics, where it plays a key role in shaping a multipolar world order. Additionally, China’s strong economic influence is undeniable, as no country can afford to disengage from doing business with China.

He further underlined that the ironclad, now diamond, friendship between Cambodia and China remains exceptionally strong, and the joint celebration of this anniversary demonstrates the ongoing strengthening of their close ties. He expressed optimism that this relationship will continue to be mutually beneficial in the current geopolitical landscape and evolving world order.

Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin underscored the success of the 75-year founding of the People's Republic of China, which underwent a radical change under the leadership of the CPC. He believes that China's progress will boost the cause of China-Cambodia friendship with high respect and sincere gratitude.

On the occasion, he underlined that the Chinese Embassy will maintain close cooperation with all Cambodian institutions to strengthen and elevate the relationship between the two countries to new heights. The Chinese side will support Cambodia in realizing its 2030 and 2050 visions, and collaborate with Cambodia to build a high-quality, high-standard, and robust community with a shared future in the new era.
