PHNOM PENH, April 26 (Xinhua) — A Cambodia-China paintings exhibition opened in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, on Friday, attracting scores of visitors.

Jointly organized by the Royal Academy of Cambodia and China's Jiujiang University, the half-day event displayed dozens of paintings featuring scenery, culture and tradition of both countries as well as Chinese calligraphy.
