"Over the years, Cambodia and China have built a bond that goes far beyond politics. It's a friendship based on understanding, trust, and shared hope for a better future," she said.

This is not the first time that Princess Jenna has come to China. She's been to Yunnan, Xizang, Beijing, and Shandong, experiencing local culture and history. In April, she sang the classic song Canzonet of Yimeng Mountain in fluent Chinese at a Sino-Cambodian cultural exchange event, bringing the people of the two countries closer together.

Princess Jenna believes language and music build trust and friendship between China and Cambodia, and she hopes "to keep playing a small part in helping the two countries understand, appreciate, and support one another".
