China News Agency, Beijing, April 28, 27th, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a phone conversation with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Brasokun.

  Wang Yi said that after the outbreak of New Coronary Pneumonia, China and Cambodia looked like a brother to help each other and overcome difficulties. At a critical moment in China's fight against epidemics, Cambodia gave China its firmest support. King Sihamoni and Empress Monilie expressed condolences to President Xi Jinping and provided cash assistance. Prime Minister Hun Sen's "retrograde" visit to China expressed his support. The Chinese side voted for Li and sent the first government anti-epidemic medical expert group to Cambodia and the world's first military anti-epidemic medical expert group to provide anti-epidemic materials and share diagnosis and treatment experience. China is very happy to see that the Cambodian epidemic has basically been brought under control. I believe that under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Cambodian people will certainly be able to overcome the epidemic.

  Wang Yi said that from the beginning, China has shared openly and transparently the anti-epidemic information with the international community, actively carried out international cooperation, and has been welcomed and fully affirmed by most countries, including Cambodia. The more successful China's fight against epidemics, the more people will have to question and discredit; the better China cooperates with other countries, the more people will have to pick faults, which fully exposes their prejudice and injustice towards China. China appreciates Cambodia ’s opposition to politicizing and stigmatizing the epidemic, and firmly supports the World Health Organization in playing its due role in combating the epidemic. He believes that Cambodia will continue to maintain an objective position and maintain fairness and justice.

  Wang Yi said that China-Cambodia friendship has withstood the international test and has been further strengthened in this epidemic. China and Cambodia have always supported each other on issues involving the core interests of both parties. This not only safeguards the interests of the two countries, but also safeguards international fairness and justice. The Cambodian side presided over justice and was not afraid of power, reflecting Cambodia's style as an independent and sovereign country. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between China and Cambodia and the first anniversary of the signing of the Action Plan of the Community of Destiny. We must implement the consensus of the leaders of the two countries, coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic situation and pragmatic cooperation, so that the bilateral relationship will go to a new level after the epidemic has been refined.

  Brasokun congratulated China on the important results achieved in epidemic prevention and control, and thanked China for sending a medical expert team and providing medical supplies to Cambodia. Brasokun said that China's huge sacrifice in the fight against the epidemic and the spirit of solidarity shown are admirable. Not only has China effectively controlled the domestic epidemic, but it has also helped countries fight the epidemic. This is the true spirit of internationalism. The Cambodian side is willing to work with China to strengthen cooperation in key areas and projects and push Cambodia-China cooperation to a new height. Viruses are a common threat to mankind. To overcome them, the international community must unite and not divide. The Cambodian side opposes the use of the epidemic situation to stigmatize China, and firmly supports WHO to play a leading role in international anti-epidemic cooperation. (Finish)
