May 23, 2007Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen wound up his three-day goodwill visit to Myanmar Wednesday, bringing the Myanmar-Cambodia ties closer.
The two countries have achieved considerable success in expanding the scope for bilateral cooperation in various fields, state-run newspaper New Light of Myanmar said in its editorial on Wednesday.
At the invitation of Myanmar Acting Prime Minister Lieutenant- General Thein Sein, Hun Sen arrived in Myanmar's new capital of Nay Pyi Taw Monday for an official visit.
This is Hun Sen's second formal visit to Myanmar as a Cambodian leader since 2000.
During the visit, Chairman of the Myanmar State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) met with Hun Sen, who was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hor Nam Hong and ministers of Commerce and Tourism Cham Prasidh and Thong Khon.
Hun Sen also had talks with SPDC First Secretary Thein Sein over further strengthening bilateral ties and cooperation.
According to the editorial, tourism and air transport are among the spheres Myanmar and Cambodia are working in collaboration.
There has been close exchange at high level between Myanmar and Cambodia since more than a decade ago. In October 1996, Than Shwe visited Cambodia, during which three agreements were signed on tourism, air services and establishment of sister cities between Bagan (Myanmar) and Siemreap (Cambodia).
Then Cambodian First Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh also came to Yangon the same year and an agreement on the establishment of a joint commission for bilateral cooperation was also inked.
During Hun Sen's 2000 Yangon visit, an agreement on mutual exemption of visas for holders of diplomatic and official passports was signed.
Hun Sen attended a Mekong economic cooperation strategy summit of four countries -- Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand held in Myanmar's Bagan in November 2003.
In April 2005, Myanmar Prime Minister Soe Win went to Phnom Penh as part of his tour to three member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Myanmar and Cambodia are not only cooperating in the 10-nation ASEAN as fellow members but also active in the five-country economic cooperation also known as the Ayeyawaddy-Chao Phraya- Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS).
Moreover, Myanmar and Cambodia are joining in a four-country civil aviation cooperation which also involves Laos and Vietnam to seek development of air transport in the subregion.
Under a multilateral agreement reached in Phnom Penh in April 2005, the CLMV countries have sought promotion of air travel and cargo as well as tourism services among the four latest ASEAN members.
Myanmar signed bilateral air transport accord with Cambodia in 1995 among others with Laos and Vietnam.
According to a latest report, Myanmar's first national private airline, the Air Bagan, has planned to stretch its wing to six other Asian destinations in the next five months which include that to Cambodia's Siemreap in late October which stands as Bagan's sister city.
Prompted by the goodwill visit of Hun Sen to Myanmar, the Myanmar-Cambodia bilateral relations and cooperation would come closer and contribute more to the economic development in the region, observers here said.

Excellent news indeed, I can smell
Air Bagan is comming. We will need
some space for their office,
and squatters, "move your fucking
asses out of state property. We
are not going to tell you again.",
and college graduates, "get your
CV ready and do some research for
the job you are going to apply for;
don't wait to the last minute."
When a dictator meets with another dicattor, the people power will rise unexpectedly.
Cut the dicttaor's resources.
Hun Sen is uneductaed brutal man and the children of CPP not many educated, SRP must bring all the young engineers to join.
Congratulation for achieving your success ( Mr. Hun Zen ) of conspiracy w/ Myannma of putting a Nobel Peace Prize "Ms. Suu Kyi" more times in jail! What an ash....government!
Bullshit, 9:16, H. E. Hun Sen is
not uneducated. He's the teacher
who teached everything to every
school. Most of your knowledge
today is actually came from what
Hun Sen taught to your school.
You see, these geniuses needn't go
to school to learn what they
taught to the school. get it?
It just don't make sense to waste
life precious times.
