BEIJING: A Cambodian proverb says, "Where there is a road, there is hope." In May 2024, a road in Phnom Penh was named "Xi Jinping Boulevard" by the Royal Government of Cambodia to honour the Chinese president's historic contributions to the country's development.
In 1965, the late King Father Sihanouk similarly named a road after Chairman Mao Zedong.
