An exchange activity between young lawmakers from China and Cambodia was held via video link on Monday as a move to further deepen mutual understanding and bring new energy to bilateral relations and cooperation of the legislative bodies.

Regarding the two countries as iron-clad friends and a community with a shared future, Wang Hongyan, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, called for giving full play to the advantages of legislators to carry forward the traditional friendship between the two sides, promote the mutual beneficial cooperation and help boost the development of bilateral ties.

Hun Many, chairman of the Cambodian National Assembly's Commission for Education, Youth, Religious Affairs, Culture and Tourism, said the online activity will better benefit the people of the two nations while further enhancing exchanges and cooperation of the legislative bodies.

During the video activity, legislative representatives from the two sides also shared their ideas and suggestions on topics such as increasing cooperation and bilateral relations amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, alleviating economic and social impacts caused by the pandemic and helping strengthen the building of rule of law.

It was the first exchange via video link between the young legislators from the two countries since the pandemic began.

China's NPC has kept close bilateral and multilateral exchanges with the Cambodian legislative body for a long time, taking such communication as a key part of the two countries' comprehensive strategic partnership.

In January, Li Zhanshu, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, highlighted the important role of the legislative bodies of the two countries to help promote development of bilateral ties when delivering a video speech at the opening ceremony for exchange activities between the NPC and the Cambodian National Assembly.

He said the two nations have firmly supported each other on issues concerning their core interests, adding China will, as always, firmly support the Cambodian people's just cause and Cambodia's choice of development path, and offer aid to Cambodia's national construction within China's capacity.
