Cambodia’s Ministry of Urbanization and Construction will use the money to adopt modern information technology, strengthen public awareness, and increase community participation in the sector of land registration, the chief of the Minister’s Cabinet, Mr. Mean Chanvanny, told local media on Saturday.

Finland’s generousity was praised by Cambodia’s Minister of Urbanization and Construction, Im Chun Lim, who expressed his appreciation this weekend, saying that Finland has helped Cambodia handle the task of land registration, which is a key work closely connected with the living conditions of the people.

From 2002 to 2007, Finland has now provided a total sum of 3.5 million USD to be spent on land registration in Cambodia, reports the Chinese news agency Xinhua.
