China's Foreign Minister, Wang Yi is in Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh to speak with the country's leaders about strengthening bilateral ties.
Wang met with his Cambodian counterpart Prak Sokhon to discuss trade, and key regional and international issues. Sokhon says Cambodia's stance is to appeal to all parties involved in the water dispute to find ways to settle this problem peacefully, through consultation and negotiation following international law.
Wang adds the Chinese side has carried out necessary infrastructure on its own islands that do not violate international laws or have any impact on navigational freedom. Later, Wang held talks with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
