PHNOM PENH, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Bu Jianguo on Tuesday appreciated Cambodia for adhering to a neutral and fair position on the South China Sea issue.
"Cambodia's neutral and fair stance over the South China Sea issue has importantly contributed to protecting China-ASEAN good cooperation and to maintaining peace and stability in the region," she said during the inauguration ceremony of a China-funded road in western Kampong Speu province.
The ceremony was also attended by Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen.
The Cambodian prime minister announced in June that the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) did not support the arbitral tribunal's so-called award over the South China Sea dispute between the Philippines and China.
