3,000 Cambodian and Chinese troops join 19-day military exercises seen as a gesture of solidarity amid health emergency.

The event comes amid the unexpected emergence of the coronavirus infection, which originated in China at the end of 2019. As of Friday, there were more than 3,000 people killed in China and close to 81,000 infected, with almost 63,000 recovered, according to data compiled by the Johns Hopkins University.

Last week, Cambodia reported its first official case from Siem Reap. Three British passengers on a tourist boat on the Mekong River were also infected with the virus and remain under quarantine on the boat.

The disease has since spread quickly to other parts of the region as well as other parts of the world. Cambodia's neighbouring countries Vietnam and Thailand have each reported dozens of cases.
"The decision to hold the fourth annual Golden Dragon joint military exercise is part of a larger strategy of demonstrating support for China against criticism by the international community over Beijing's handling of the Covid-19 epidemic. HE went to Beijing to meet President Xi Jinping in February to show solidarity," he said.
