China is willing to establish a security partnership with Cambodia, President Xi Jinping ​said on Friday as he met ‌with Hun Sen, president of Cambodia's Senate, in Beijing.

Xi said the international and regional situation was undergoing "complex ​and profound changes" and that China and ​Cambodia should work together to inject more ⁠stability into regional peace and development, China's ​state news agency Xinhua reported.

Here are more ​details of their meeting:

China has always regarded Cambodia as a priority in its neighbourhood diplomacy and Beijing firmly ​supports Cambodia in safeguarding national sovereignty and ​security, Xi said.

He called on the two sides to raise ‌the ⁠foundation of strategic mutual trust "to a new height".

Xi also praised Cambodia's efforts in cracking down on telecoms and online fraud, and pledged to ​work with ​Cambodia to ⁠eradicate what he called the "tumour" of such fraud.

Hun Sen is in China ​from June 25-27 for an official "goodwill" ​visit, ⁠Beijing said previously.

China and Cambodia held the first meeting under a "2+2" Strategic Dialogue Mechanism in ⁠April, ​bringing together their foreign and ​defence ministers to discuss political and security ties.
