Xi made the pledge during a meeting with Heng Samrin, president of the Cambodian National Assembly at the Great Hall of the People in downtown Beijing.

"The close contact and cooperation between China and Cambodia at last month's East Asia Summit has contributed to the success of the leaders' meeting," Xi said.

Xi said China will enhance consultation and coordination with Cambodia on regional and international affairs regarding the United Nations, East Asian cooperation and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Xi also hailed the traditional friendship and expanding cooperation between the two states in politics, economic issues, culture and education.

China attaches importance to the relationship with Cambodia and will work with Cambodia to deepen substantial cooperation and strive for common prosperity, he said.

Heng Samrin said he appreciates China's long-term assistance to his country, saying Cambodia will learn from China's experience in economic development and improving people's livelihoods.

Cambodia will also enhance cooperation with China in investment, tourism, anti-terrorism and in combating cross-border crime, he said, adding that the Cambodian parliament will also contribute to the growth of bilateral ties.
