On Dec. 18, Cambodia inaugurated a China-funded national stadium on the northern suburbs of capital Phnom Penh with a sports parade, a martial arts performance, and traditional dances.
Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen said the 60,000-seat stadium will be the centerpiece venue for tournaments when Cambodia hosts the Southeast Asian Games for the first time in May 2023.
The stadium is just one of the many China-funded achievements in Cambodia, he said, and it is another fruit of the iron-clad friendship between Cambodia and China.
