South Korean should invest in Special Economic Zone, like the one in Stung Hav created by Chinese investors. Cheap electronic goods designed by Korea companies and produced in Cambodia could prevail in the world market. Goes Korea, goes Cambodia.
yes, korea can help cambodia to develop. this includes any developped nation who wanted to help.
Lee is the first President from business sector, hope that he can help and encourage Korean private enterprise to invest in Cambodia.
LOL, How many countries near Cambodia has changed their leader? Each countries at least quite a few already except us (Cambodia) we are stuck to one guy. That's why nothing grows. Changing leader, Exchange trade is a plus to the country. Plus, if HUN SEN wants to get Cambodia to grow fast please call on Korean companies to invest in Electronics company in Cambodia. We need to put our qualified people to work.
Damn Korean, Come On! In return we will give you all the sea-weed. You can have them all.
Hey don't be so nice here. I love sea weed too, you know? However, I will agreed to offer them 85% if you don't mind and keep 15% for our sea weed fans here, fair?
LOL, True!
Yeah, and my favorite is making grilled beef marinate. What I do is chop up the sea weed and lemon grass, then beat the heck out of it until it become like paste, then add some salt or soy sauce, and voila! a great beef marinate. Have you had it? Yummy ... . It makes me droole just talking about it, hehehe!
