Phnom Penh. On the afternoon of August 14, 2025, the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia hosted a lecture on working together to build an all-weather Cambodia–China community with a shared future in the new era. The committee’s secretary-general, Vath Chamroeun, presided.
Addressing 50 participants from the Office of the Council of Ministers, the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia, the China Foundation for Peace and Development, the Peaceland Foundation, YUNDI, the Hokkien business association in Cambodia and the Cambodia–China development researchers association, Vath Chamroeun said close cooperation with China and conditions of peace had helped the committee raise its international profile. He said Cambodian athletes had won gold, silver and bronze medals in regional and global competitions. He thanked Chinese partners for supporting sport and the committee’s work.
Dr ជា មុនីឫទ្ធិ, president of the Cambodia–China development researchers association, highlighted two events in 2025: the 80th anniversary of victory in the war against Japanese aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and the upgrading of Cambodia–China cooperation to an all-weather community with a shared future in the new era. Citing more than 2,000 years of ties, he said the countries had entered a new decade of closer cooperation and sought a model of mutually beneficial partnership and a shared future for humanity. He called for a world free of war and for lasting peace, development, prosperity, equality and justice.
After the lecture and questions, Liu Zhanguo, head of the China Foundation for Peace and Development’s Cambodia office, praised the association for creating forums to share and promote a culture of peace. He said the day’s event, the 300th forum by Dr ជា មុនីឫទ្ធិ, offered a chance to learn more about China’s idea of a community with a shared future for humanity. Liu described China as committed to peace, global development and mutual benefit. He said China was ready to share its experience and innovations and welcomed other countries in pursuing faster development together.
