Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has held bilateral talks with visiting Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, witnessing the signing of deals between the two nations.
In the latest sign of a strengthening relationship, Cambodia and China signed 19 aid and investment pacts as Cambodia turns further away from Western donors.
The agreements include a loan to build a new airport, and another deal to build a highway from Phnom Penh to the beach resort of Sihanoukville.

China is Cambodia’s biggest aid donor and its backing has bolstered Hun Sen in the face of growing criticisms.
