PHNOM PENH, April 1 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia and Qatar on Tuesday signed an agreement to establish the diplomatic relationship, Cambodian government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said.

The two countries agreed to select April 1 as the day to establish the diplomatic relationship, he told reporters at a press conference following talks between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and visiting Qatar Premier.

"We also requested seven projects from Qatar and they agreed with all requests," he said.

The requests include helping to train oil and gas experts for Cambodia, allowing Cambodian labor force to work in Qatar, bringing more investments, a direct flight from Doha of Qatar to Cambodia, strengthening gas and mines cooperation and buying rice products from Cambodia, Khieu Kanharith said.

Both sides will create a law about investments promotion, he added.

Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabor Al Thani, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, arrived in Phnom Penh on Tuesday to pay an two-day visit to Cambodia.

I have always favored any Cambodian cooperation beyond the Thaicong and the Vietcong border!

This is the way to go for Cambodian security as a nation!

Frankly, I didn't give a fuck as long as the Cambodian cooperation beyond the Thaicong and the Vietcong border to show that Cambodian people have the capability to stand on their two feet and not to depend on them Thaicong and Vietcong SOB for everything! There is nothing but endless conflict with dealing with the fucken Thaicong and the fucken Vietcong and Cambodia desperately need outsiders’ reinforcement to deal with them!

Jewish, Westerner, Arab...or what have you are all welcome!
