PHNOM PENH: Cambodia's next leader Hun Manet said he met China's foreign minister Wang Yi in the capital Phnom Penh on Sunday (Aug 13) and they pledged to boost ties between the two countries.

Hun Manet was appointed by the king but he and his cabinet must still win an Aug 22 vote in parliament, where his father's Cambodian People's Party dominates the lower house.

He also reaffirmed in a Facebook post his government's"unchanged position" towards the One-China policy and promised no interference in Chinese national affairs.Wang also met his Cambodian counterpart and reaffirmed Beijing's"unwavering commitment" to respecting Cambodian sovereignty and conveyed Beijing's support for the kingdom, according to a Cambodian foreign ministry statement.

China insisted a Philippine navy vessel grounded on a reef in the Spratly Islands be removed from the hotly contested waters, long a flashpoint between them, after the Philippines accused the China Coast Guard of firing water cannon at boats on a resupply mission last weekend. Phnom Penh has become one of China's strongest allies in the region under Hun Sen, who ruled for almost four decades, receiving huge sums of Chinese investment.
