From July 12 to 14, Som Visal, Consul General of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Xi’an, led a three-people delegation to visit Ningxia.
Lai Jiao, Vice Governor of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, met with the delegation. He expressed welcome and appreciation to the delegation’s efforts in enhancing mutual understanding, exchanges and cooperation. Lai introduced Ningxia’s development and exchanged views with the delegation on promoting results-oriented cooperation between Ningxia and Cambodia in cultural tourism, wine, clean energy and modern agriculture. Noting that some industries in Ningxia and Cambodia are highly complementary and boast great cooperation potential, Lai hoped that the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Xi’an could help promote Ningxia and its specialty industries and jointly contribute to the establishment of international friendship city relations between Ningxia and Battambang Province. He invited Som Visal and Cambodian businessmen to attend the Fifth China-Arab States Expo, so as to tap cooperation potential and realize win-win results.
Som Visal exalted China-Cambodia friendship and Ningxia’s rapid development. He said this was his first time to Ningxia after taking office and he was impressed by Ningxia’s modern agriculture and tourism industry as well as its enabling business environment. The Consulate General of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Xi’an will help facilitate the friendly exchanges and expand cooperation between the two sides.
During their stay in Ningxia, the delegation met with officials from Ningxia Commerce Department and Ningxia Culture and Tourism Department and visited Ningxia Paddy-Fish Space Ecopark, Xinping Demonstration Park for Modern Protected Agriculture and International Wine Museum at the Eastern Foot of Helan Mountains. They also discussed cooperation possibilities between Ningxia and Cambodia in economy, trade, tourism, agriculture and wine with local officials and business representatives.
