A 60-member troupe of artists from China's Fujian province performed a variety of traditional dances here Monday night, aiming to promote cultural relations between the two countries.

Song Kening, director general of the Foreign Affairs Office of Fujian Provincial People's Government, Cambodian Princess Norodom Bopha Devi, and Cambodian Minister of Culture and Fine Arts Phoeurng Sackona were among more than 1,000 spectators who viewed the two-hour show at the Diamond Island Grand Theatre.

Each of the performances had drawn hearty rounds of applause from the audience. Endi
