As part of this year’s “China-Cambodia Friendship Year,” Wang said, “China is glad to work with Cambodia in all forms and would strive for increased collaboration in the education sector.”
In addition, he exhorted students to study vocational fields and the Mandarin language in order to participate in the community of shared destiny, which he compared to a “express train.”
Education minister Hang Chuon Naron hailed China for its sustained support of Cambodia’s educational system, according to a statement from the Chinese embassy. Also, he applauded the Cambodia-China Partnership for fostering trade and economic ties between China and Cambodia.
