Swiss president reaches airline deal in Cambodia

Swiss President Micheline Calmy-Rey reached an airline agreement with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, and discussed human rights and governances, diplomatic sources said.

Calmy-Rey, who is also Swiss Foreign Minister, also visited the Swiss-funded restoration works at the Bantei Srey temple of the Angkor Wat complex in the north of the country, and saw children’s hospitals set up by Swiss doctor Beat Richner during her visit, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations first being established between the two nations.

A large part of Calmy-Rey’s trip was devoted to visiting Swiss aid projects which have become local institutions – the Beat Richner hospitals and the Tamis’ Hagar centres for women and children. “I am proud to visit projects of such value which bear witness to the strong humanitarian link with Cambodia and form the basis of our country’s excellent image over here,” Calmy-Rey said.

Yey!!! I knew we will get the deal.
This certainly going to create
hundreds of jobs. I hope we'll do
all we can to help the swiss air
line to settle down in Cambodia
quickly without any delay.

You see that, Ethiopian's tics and
fleas. I told you, winner got
skills, and loser got lipservice.
Hence, you guy don't have a prayer
in the comming election. Get it?

True, we'll need money to pay
people better and to fund anti-
corruption task force to fight
corruption. There is no other way.
Sam Rainshit is just a Bullshit
artist who want to destroy
Cambodia.
