Hirotoshi Kunitomo, director of the International Projects Office, Manufacturing Industries Bureau, of the Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry, spoke to Cambodian journalists at a roundtable discussion organized by the Club of Cambodian Journalists.
Kunitomo, a member of a 35-strong Japanese business delegation, said that in a meeting Tuesday with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, the two sides agreed to promote business cooperation between the two nations.
