China has announced plans to provide humanitarian assistance to Cambodia to address displacement along border regions, as revealed during high-level talks between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Prak Sokhonn in Yuxi City on December 28, 2025.
Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, stated the aid would support settlement efforts for affected communities. The commitment comes as both nations participate in critical ceasefire negotiations mediated by China, with Cambodian and Thai delegations meeting in Yunnan through December 29.
The development follows recent progress in regional stability efforts, with China positioning itself as a key facilitator in Southeast Asian diplomacy. Analysts suggest this aid initiative reinforces Beijing's role in addressing humanitarian challenges while strengthening bilateral ties with Phnom Penh.
This year has seen increased cross-border cooperation among ASEAN members, with China's latest commitment aligning with broader regional security priorities. The assistance package details remain under discussion, but officials confirm it will prioritize essential supplies and infrastructure support for displaced populations.
