“I have learnt about the prestige of Xinhua, but now I am physically here. It is a rare opportunity... I am proud to be a Cambodian journalist who has chance to build capacity at one of the world's leading media outlets,” Chanmolika underscored.

Over the last two weeks, Chanmolika had been trained in the areas of news writing, video editing, digital journalism, leadership and communication skills, which are important for her personal development and institutional capacities.
