On 3 August, Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin visited a safe accommodation site for displaced people in Cambodia’s Preah Vihear province. He expressed support for local residents affected by the Cambodia–Thailand border situation who were temporarily unable to return home, and distributed humanitarian relief supplies.
During the visit, Wang asked in detail about residents’ daily lives, access to supplies, and other practical needs, and offered his sympathy to those facing difficulties. He said the supplies donated by China reflected the concern of the Chinese government and people for the Cambodian people and the two countries’ all-weather, “ironclad friendship”. He hoped the assistance would help ease the hardship of families affected by the conflict and support them through this difficult period.
Recipients at the site thanked the Chinese Embassy for its support. They said China’s assistance in a time of need brought them warmth across national borders and demonstrated the deep friendship between the two countries, which stand together and help each other through adversity. Preah Vihear Governor Kim Rithy thanked China on behalf of the local government, expressing appreciation for its longstanding support for Cambodia. He said the visit and assistance demonstrated the strength of the friendly and cooperative relationship between Cambodia and China.
According to information released by the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia on 28 December 2025, China provided emergency humanitarian supplies worth a total of RMB 20 million to Cambodia. The first shipment, including tents, blankets and food, arrived in Phnom Penh that day. At the handover ceremony, Wang said China had been the first country to provide humanitarian assistance to Cambodia and had provided the largest amount. His statement referred to the aid situation at that time. The supplies were intended to help Cambodians affected by the Cambodia–Thailand border conflict through their difficulties.
