Abstract
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen led a large delegation to attend the first Belt and Road Forum in Beijing on May 14 and 15 this year, and followed it up with a state visit from May 16 to 17.
During the visit, China pledged US$240 million in grant to Cambodia, and both countries signed 13 agreements focusing on a wide range of areas including infrastructure development, production capacity, trade, finance, maritime cooperation, and tourism under the Belt and Road framework. Cambodia regards BRI as a new catalyst for its economic development strategy and for regional integration and connectivity.
