Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen says the country must diversify its economy by boosting energy exploration and growth in the agricultural sector.

The economy is currently dominated by the garment industry and tourism.

Hun Sen warns that an economic slowdown in the West could severely damage the country's garment industry and says Cambodia should put more effort into diversifying the economy.

The country's garment sector alone accounts for 80 percent of total export earnings, employing some 330,000 people in more than 200 factories.
