China Pledges Nearly US $600 Million in Aid to Cambodia Over Three Years: PM Hun Sen
China will provide Cambodia with 4 billion yuan (U.S. $587.6 million) in aid over the next three years, Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen said Jan 22, as Phnom Penh further cements ties with Beijing in the face of sanctions threats from the European Union. Hun Sen met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Jan 21 for bilateral talks during a three-day trip to Beijing and requested additional aid from China, his country’s largest donor and investor.
