Chinese premier arrives in Phnom Penh for East Asian leaders meetings, Cambodia visit

PHNOM PENH, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao arrived in Phnom Penh on Sunday afternoon to attend a series of meetings for East Asian leaders and pay an official visit to Cambodia.

On the way to Phnom Penh, Wen told reporters it's the only right choice and common wish for East Asian nations to make a concerted effort to overcome the current difficulties as the recovery of the world economy slows and East Asia is faced with increasing pressure.

Wen said China's growth is expected to go on with better quality for a quite long period, continuing to be an important engine for regional and world growth.

Noting the achievements in cooperation and challenges for East Asia, Wen said he will stress unity, cooperation and development as he attends the meetings.
