Phay Siphan, the spokesman for the Cambodia Council of Ministers, said Xi's article clearly reflects China's high attention to further deepening China-Cambodia relations and to supporting Cambodia in all circumstances.

"We highly appreciate President Xi for paying such high attention to further enhancing ties and cooperation between China and Cambodia," he told Xinhua. "His upcoming visit is a great honor for Cambodia."

He said that Xi's visit would enhance all-round cooperation between Cambodia and China, especially under the framework of China's Belt and Road Initiative.

The spokesman also admired China for treating all countries equally regardless of their size.

Sok Eysan, a spokesman for the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP), said that the article demonstrates that Xi shows great honor to Cambodia and the Cambodian people.

"Although we are a small country, China treats us equally," he told Xinhua. "Cambodia is proud to be one of China's trusted friends."

"We're confident that President Xi's visit to Cambodia will further deepen friendly relations, solidarity and all-round cooperation," Eysan said.

Mey Kalyan, a senior adviser of the Supreme National Economic Council, which is the Cambodian government's economic policy-making institution, said that Xi's message provides the Cambodian people with even more trust in closer Sino-Cambodian relations in the future.
