The Khmer–Chinese Friendship Association (Khmer: សមាគមមិត្តភាពខ្មែរ-ចិន; French: Association d'amitié khmero-chinoise, AAKC) was an organization in Cambodia, seeking to promote ties between Cambodia and China.
The association was founded in September 1964. At the time Cambodia and the People's Republic of China enjoyed good bilateral relations. Different political tendencies were represented in the association.
The group that had been active in the AAKC continued to exist as a pro-Chinese faction inside the Communist Party of Kampuchea. The pro-Chinese faction was mainly influential in the south-western region until 1975, when they were subdued by the Pol Pot group. The pro-Chinese faction was purged in 1977, and its main leaders were executed.[4]
