China’s top diplomat in Cambodia has said that the Hong Kong leader’s visit to the Southeast Asian country is “particularly meaningful” in highlighting the city’s key role in promoting relations between Beijing and Phnom Penh.
Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu also promoted the city to business leaders in Cambodia at a dinner event on Tuesday, after leaving Laos for Phnom Penh to kick off the second part of his three-nation tour.
The city leader was received at the airport by Chinese ambassador Wang Wenbin, who was posted to Cambodia about four weeks ago and is better known for his former role as a spokesman for the foreign ministry in Beijing.
