The Australian government has decided to increase aid to Cambodia by 11 percent in the coming year, but the actual amount is not specified, local media reported on Wednesday.
Australian Ambassador to Cambodia Margaret Adamson told Prime Minister Hun Sen here on Tuesday that the aid will target agriculture, health and scholarships for Cambodian students, reported Cambodian daily newspaper the Kampuchea Thmey.
Australia will continue to help Cambodia in order to strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation, Eng Sophallet, personal assistant to the premier, was quoted by another Cambodian daily newspaper the Koh Santepheap as saying.
Hun Sen said that the Australian aid is well-suited to Cambodia 's rural development and poverty reduction strategies and thanked the Australian government for its continuous assistance to Cambodia, reported the Koh Santepheap.
Hun Sen also requested the Australian government to assist Cambodia for its 2008 national election, reported the Kampuchea Thmey.
Hun Sen paid a six-day official visit to Australia in October 2006.
As the visit was wrapped up, Minister of Commerce Cham Prasidh told reporters that the Australian government is to offer to Cambodia over 123 million Australian dollars (around 92 million U. S. dollars) of aid in the next 5 years.
Among it, 48.5 million Australian dollars (some 36 million U.S. dollars) goes for comprehensive projects from 2006 to 2007, and 45 million Australian dollars (some 34 million U.S. dollars) for agricultural projects and 30 million Australian dollars (some 22 million U.S. dollars) for justice and penal affairs in the next 5 years.
From 1996 to 2006, Australia has offered a total of 424 billion Australian dollars (around 318 billion U.S. dollars) of aid to Cambodia.
Australia is the kingdom's third largest donor, trailing Japan and the United States.

Thank to Australia for their
generosity over the years, and
please make sure the aid don't
go through the SRP; otherwise,
we'll never see a drop of it. All
we'll hear is the government has
stolen it. The SRP learnt many
dirty tricks from Ah Khmer-Yuons
in the past, but now, we are on to
them now.
Watch out for HRP too?
how much of that australian aid will go to makign new embassy and evicting poor tonle bassac people?
8:08 also thanks us for the "justice" funding that allows the RGC to continue to murder Cambodians and falsely jail others while pretending to improve the justice system. Thank you AusAID!
No way, Dude, our justice system
don't need any improvement. It is
already much better than the
Aussie's system and all of the
westerners' system.
You see, the difference is you guys
love to release criminals to
victimized people and we don't.
As a result, we accidently
sentensing a few people wrongfully.
So what this mean is the prisoners
just spending time behind the
crappy bars. On the other hand,
in the Aussie's system, a few
people will be sentenced by the
criminals that is released by
your court, and what that sentence
be like? Well, typically, either
you get a 30cm razor sharp blade
running accross your throat and
left you bled to dead, or simply
a 22mm going through your eye and
blown your brain all over the
place. Thus, clearly, our system
is far better than your because
no one in their right mind would
love to be sentenced by criminal.
They would rather spend sometimes
behind bars if a misjudgement is
to happen.
listen all your dumb crackhead.
i didn't sign that treaty or order to block krt, or order to kill my kind in kkk, it was ah chor yuon who did it on their own and put the blame on me. I am ah hun kvak how can i see or know how to read?
i wanted to run away but ah chor yuon threated to kill me and my family members. what can I do if each time i am forced to talk. ah hok lundee is yuan and how many times he slept with mi j'rouk my wife? all the time. it hurts me so bad to see mee j'rouk did with ah chor yuon Hok in front of my face. :( :(
We, Cambodians, are very ashamed to have an uneducated prime minister like ah Hun Sen
Reporters have rights to ask any question to high-rank officials, either prime minister, in the world.
If ah Hun Sen (Kbal youn khloun Sat') told RFA reporters are insolent, so ah Hun Sen is very ILL-BRED and uneducated barbarian person
