The first team of Chinese medical experts arrived in Cambodia on Monday morning to help the country fight the COVID-19 and they received a warm welcome from Cambodian officials and well-wishers.
A Chinese embassy official said that further needs will be assessed as and when the need arises or when a request is made.
Landing at the Phnom Penh International Airport via a special chartered plane, the seven-member expert team was cordially greeted by Cambodian Health Minister Mam Bunheng and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wentian.
Dozens of well-wishers also welcomed them at the airport by waving the flags of Cambodia and China when they walked down from the plane.
At the airport, the Chinese experts posed for group photos with Bunheng and Wang as well as others, with two banners writing that “A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed” and “Lancang-Mekong Has Only One Origin, China and Cambodia Have Only One Heart.”
According to a Cambodian Ministry of Health’s press release, the expert team, from south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, came over with tons of medical supplies including ventilators, medical masks, protective suits, test kits, and infrared temperature sensors.
