General Thein Sein, the Burmese prime minister, who came to visit Cambodia since 30 November, said that in addition to holding discussions with Hun Sen about political issues, he wants to push for a channeling of tourists visiting Siem Reap to continue their travel to the Burmese ancient city of Pagan through direct flights linking Siem Reap and Pagan. The Burmese also want to help Cambodia in agriculture, and bamboo plantation. At the same time, Thein Sein asked Cambodia to expand commerce between the two countries because, currently, the commercial exchange between the two countries amounts to $200,000 only. Thein Sein also asked the royal government of Cambodia to steer investors to Burma also because Burma has a lot of investment potentials. Thein Sein and his delegation returned back to Burma in the afternoon of 02 December after completing a 3-day visit in Cambodia.

this thein sein guy sounds like hun sen ten years ago; not to say that he is any better, but cambodia is still one of the poorest countries in the world if not asia. slow mind brings slow progress for the people. now don't tell me cambodian economy has been growing average 11% a year isn't that progress? i don't want to hear it. in the name of progress takes more than economic growth to make a country healthy... need i say more?

think about it...

Wrong, economic growth is the only thing that will get you out of poverty other than a few trillions of barrels of oils or similar resources.
