China and Cambodia sign FTA on heels of EU sanctions

With few details released, deal could be more symbolic than practical.

China and Cambodia on Monday signed a free trade agreement at a ceremony in Phnom Penh attended by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

A statement on China’s Ministry of Commerce website said the agreement covered a wide range of cooperation in the areas of investment, trade, tourism, transportation and agriculture.
