Phnom Penh - Qatar Prime Qatar Prime Minister Hamed bin Jasim bin Jabor al-Thani left Cambodia Wednesday after a two-day official visit during which he had a personal tour conducted by Cambodian Tourism Minister Thong Khon, a government spokesman said. The Qatar politician spent some hours inspected the ancient Angkor Wat temple complex in norther Siem Reap province, 300 kilometres from the capital, before boarding a flight, government spokesman Khieu Kanharith told journalists.
Qatar inked a tentative deal for direct flights between Cambodia and the oil-rich Arabian nation during the visit and held significant official discussions on oil and gas issues, the government said.
Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said the Qatar prime minister, who also serves as the country's foreign minister, was also destined for a visit to China this tour.
Cambodia is expected to tap potentially rich offshore oil and gas reserves within three years.
It has enlisted the assistance of a number of more experienced petroleum producing and exporting countries such as Brunei and Qatar for advice in an effort to avoid what has become known as the "oil curse" of poorly planned petroleum wealth distribution in other countries such as Nigeria.
