　　据英国《金融时报》9月2日报道，东南亚国家正在为下周在老挝举行的重要地区峰会做准备。柬埔寨首相洪森已执政31年，中国与洪森政府由来已久的联系眼下进一步深化，很可能引发美国以及出席东盟老挝峰会的10个东盟成员国的关切。

　　报道称，美国总统奥巴马也将出席此次东盟峰会。智库柬埔寨战略研究所所长强·万纳雷表示，中国“特别关注”柬埔寨，是因为柬埔寨在东盟和湄公河流域的位置。“湄公河流域是中国战略谋划最重要的后院。中国要增强其影响力，需要加大在该区域的影响力。”

　　中国谴责了一家国际法庭今年7月针对菲律宾提出的仲裁案作出的裁决，对柬埔寨在今年7月的东盟外长会议上阻止对中国政府公开、直接进行批评表示赞赏。

　　报道称，显示中柬关系日渐强化的其他标志包括两国去年11月高调签署的一项双边军事援助协议。

　　柬埔寨国防大臣迪班在协议签署后表示，中方向柬方提供了肩扛式防空导弹，柬方还希望获得能击落快速飞机的较远射程导弹。

　　2013年，中国还向柬埔寨出口了12架直-9型（Z-9）直升机——用近2亿美元双边贷款支付。中方还向柬方赠送了卡车以及数万套军装，并为柬军队基建提供资金。

　　在柬埔寨首都金边的金塔山寺附近一家大型军事医院，中国国旗在空中飘扬，而停放在这里的成排的车辆两侧都标明它们是靠中国的援助购买的。

　　柬埔寨中国国防部发言人素切特将军表示，中国还为柬埔寨一所新的军事学院提供了一些小型武器和教官。他估计，每年有超过100名柬埔寨军人到中国接受培训，但他坚称，柬埔寨仍保持中立，并向所有国家开放。
