The Cambodian version of the program "The Classic Quotes by Xi Jinping," a multilingual TV program produced by China Media Group (CMG) that features quotes from ancient Chinese classics referenced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in his speeches and writings, is set to be aired in Cambodia on Thursday.
The broadcast coincides with President Xi's state visit to the country, which began on the same day.
The Cambodian version of the program focuses on themes such as environmental protection, cultural heritage and innovation, and cross-cultural exchanges. It aims to foster mutual understanding among civilizations.
By presenting these concepts from a global perspective, the show seeks to emphasize the cultural foundation of Chinese modernization, making Chinese culture, wisdom and spirit more accessible and relatable to audiences worldwide.
Between April 12 and 17, over 20 Cambodian media outlets, including Jian Hua Daily, Agence Kampuchea Presse, National Television of Kampuchea and Fresh News, published advance announcements about the program's airing.
Newspaper reports highlighted that the program will help people understand the underlying logic behind China's high-quality development, while deepening Cambodian audiences' appreciation of traditional Chinese culture and Xi's governance philosophy.
Cambodian politicians and experts noted that the quotes cited by Xi not only highlight the brilliance of traditional Chinese culture but also resonate with Cambodian culture.
They expressed the belief that the governance ideas explored in the program could inspire Cambodia's own development and further strengthen relations between Cambodia and China.
Cambodia is the last leg of Xi's current five-day, three-nation Southeast Asia tour, which also includes state visits to Vietnam and Malaysia.
