Lee meets Cambodian, Mongolian, Uzbek leaders

By Yoo Cheong-mo

SEOUL, Feb. 26 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Myung-bak held a string of summit talks Tuesday with his counterparts from Cambodia, Mongolia and Uzbekistan, who all came to Seoul earlier this week to attend Lee's inauguration ceremony, for discussions on strengthening bilateral relations.

Meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Lee stressed the need to enhance bilateral ties and asked for greater support of South Korean firms wishing to enter Cambodia's resource and construction markets.

Lee served as an economic advisor to the Cambodian government in 2000.

In his summit with Mongolian President Nambaryn Enkhbayar, Lee stressed the need for closer bilateral cooperation in the resource and energy sectors and offered to share South Korea's experience in urban development.

In response, Enkhbayar asked for closer cooperation with South Korea in the fields of bioengineering, IT and climate change.

Lee also held a summit with Uzbek President Islam Karimov in which they reconfirmed a bilateral strategic partnership signed in March 2006. They also evaluated visible outcomes in two-way cooperation in the exploitation of petroleum and natural gas.

All of the three visiting foreign heads of state asked Lee to visit their countries in the near future to follow up on bilateral cooperation projects. The new South Korean president responded favorably to the invitations.
