BEIJING, April 17 (Xinhua) -- China's top political advisor on Wednesday met with a delegation of Cambodia's royalist Funcinpec party led by its head Norodom Arun Rasmey.
Yu Zhengsheng, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said the Communist Party of China (CPC) has maintained long-term relations with Funcinpec, adding that exchanges and cooperation between the two parties have aided the growth of bilateral ties.
Yu said the CPC will continue to strengthen its cooperation with Funcinpec.
Yu, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said China-Cambodia relations have maintained growing momentum in recent years, as the two sides have expanded exchanges, cooperation and people-to-people contacts.
President Xi Jinping met with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in south China's Hainan Province earlier this month and the leaders of the two countries reached an important consensus on reinforcing the all-around strategic cooperation partnership between China and Cambodia, Yu said.
China and Cambodia will celebrate the 55th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relationship between the two this year. The two countries will also hold a series of activities under the theme of "The Year of China-Cambodia Friendship."
Yu said China is ready to work with Cambodia through those events to boost bilateral ties.
Arun said she will adhere to a friendly policy toward China.
