Heng Samrin, the president of the National Assembly, completed his official visit to Japan and returned back home on 20 October, after spending 5-day abroad. CPP MP Pen Panha who accompanied Heng Samrin during the visit, indicated that, at every meeting with Japanese leaders, Heng Samrin requested them to provide development help to Cambodia. The visit to Japan provides another opportunity to open further the commercial and business relationship, and to push for more investments in Cambodia. Heng Samrin also asked Japan to help strengthen and develop the legislative branch of Cambodia also. Pen Panha considers this visit to Japan as an important contribution to the strengthening and the opening of the cooperation to serve the interest of the two countries.

japan will not invest in cambodia unless we khmer change our habit of always trying to cheat and steal their money. i suggest that any khmer people who want to do business with japan study their and culture.

the samarais for example took their own lives when they felt they dishonored their leaders. modern day japan is very different from the samurais but the mindset is similar. just like khmer mindset today bears similarity to that 200 years ago.

the japanese are not sleazy like the americans, europeans and chinese. they care about money, yes, but they care about honor even more.

if you want to do business with japan, you have to get rid of the conditions that allow sleaziness to flourish.

this is all i have to say.

Wrong, Japan will invested in Cambodia because the government help them to succeed here; that is why we send our head of National Assembly to Japan.

In front of his counterpart, Heng Samrin has said through his interpreter " Tell them, we like more investments from Japan and more aids from Japan ". He then laugh and smile. THe Japanese counterpart has asked Him " What else you want us to help from Japan?. Heng Samrin repeat again. Oh Just what I have told you that we need more Yen from Japan. You do not need to help us in US dollars because we have plenty of dollars already. Now we only need to have more Yen. He then laugh again.
