According to the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on July 10, 2025, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Brak Sokhun in Kuala Lumpur. Wang Yi stated that China and Cambodia should strengthen cooperation within the framework of three major global initiatives, enrich the cooperation structure of the two countries' "diamond hexagon", implement the cooperation plans for the "industrial development corridor" and the "rice and fish corridor", and promote the early harvest projects to take root and yield results. He hoped that the two sides would take stronger and more effective measures to resolutely combat cross-border crimes such as online gambling, telecommunications fraud, counterfeiting, and smuggling, completely eradicate these cancers, and safeguard the security of the two countries' peoples. Wang Yi emphasized that the United States levying high tariffs on Cambodia and Southeast Asian countries is an attempt to deprive them of their legitimate development rights. He believes that Southeast Asian countries have the capability to handle complex situations, adhere to principled positions, and safeguard their own interests and the common interests of all parties.
