Phnom Penh, March 17 : The National Assembly of Cambodia on Wednesday expressed its utter dismay over the European Parliament s recent resolution on the mass trials against perpetrators linked to the 9 November 2019 plot in the country.
As an independent and sovereign state, Cambodia is entitled to pursuing its policy of self-determination in order to protect its national interests, including peace, stability, and prosperity, said an Assembly statement. We do not tolerate any intentions and activities that aim to disrupt the fabrics of the country s hard-earned peace and stability, it said.

Phnom Penh (VNA) – The bilateral trade between Cambodia and China last year was valued at more than 8.1 billion USD, sliding down 5.2 percent compared to a year earlier, Cambodian news agency AKP reported.
According to the data from
Cambodia’s Ministry of Commerce, the country’s exports to the world’s second largest economic nation in
2020 saw a year-on-year increase by 8.1 percent to over 1.08 billion USD.
Meanwhile, Cambodia spent roughly 7.03 billion USD on goods imported from China, down 6.9 percent compared to that in 2019.
The decrease in imports from China was mainly due to the slowdown of importing raw materials for garment factories because of the lockdown or restriction measures imposed to contain the COVID-19 spread.
