Before the meeting, Hu attended a welcome ceremony hosted by the Cambodian king.
According to his schedule, Hu will meet Cambodian Senate President Chea Sim, National Assembly President Heng Samrin and Prime Minister Hun Sen later Saturday.
The two sides are expected to discuss ways to enhance the comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation, and exchange views on major world and regional issues of mutual concern.
The two countries will sign a host of cooperation documents Saturday and issue a joint statement, a Chinese official said.
The Chinese president arrived in the Cambodian capital Friday for a state visit aimed at enhancing the comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation.
The two countries have enjoyed a traditional friendship as good neighbors, good friends and good partners. They established diplomatic ties in 1958 and the comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation in 2010.
In recent years, China and Cambodia have maintained frequent exchanges of high-level visits, and strengthened mutual political trust and substantial cooperation in all areas.
