Phnom Penh - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen is to pay a one-day visit to neighbouring Laos to meet with regional officials on issues affecting the Mekong River, the Foreign Ministry said in a press release received Thursday. Plans by Laos to dam the river to produce electricity have alarmed Cambodian officials and environmental groups alike, who worry that the dams would hurt rich downstream fisheries on which Cambodia and other nations depend.

Hun Sen is scheduled to visit Laos Friday and would be accompanied by Foreign Minister Hor Namhong and Commerce Minister Cham Prasidh, the press release said.
