Russian company builds bridge for Cambodian island resort

SIHANOUKVILLE, Cambodia, June 7 (Xinhua) -- The Koh Puos Cambodia Investment Group, a branch of Vironia Enterprises Limited from Russia, has invested 20 million euro (about 31.5 million U.S. dollars) to build a 900-meter bridge from the beach of Sihanoukville to Koh Puos (Snake) Island Resort, officials said here on Saturday.

This concrete bridge is one of the main development projects of Koh Puos Island Resort of the Sihanoukville city, Sun Chanthol, Cambodian Minister of Public Works and Transportation, said at the bridge groundbreaking ceremony.

The construction of the bridge will be finished by construction contractor Sinohydro of China in late 2010, he said.

The bridge will be built 32 meters over the sea level which could allow the container cargo ships to transport in and out of the sea port, he said, adding that the bridge will play a key role in connecting with other islands.

The developers have invested 300 million euro (about 472.7 million U.S. dollars) in the Koh Puos (Snake) Island to develop it into an international standard resort with hotels, trade center, accommodation and tourism center, he added.

The development of Koh Puos Island will contribute to economic growth and provide job opportunities for local people, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said at ceremony.

"We also welcome more investors from Russia and other countries to develop our islands in the sea for economic development," he added.

If the Russian didn't help the Vietcong to occupy Cambodia for 10 years and maybe Cambodia wouldn't be as backward as it is right now!

During the so called communist period and especially during the Khmer Rouge and during AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave mother fucker and I want to know why the fucken Russian always make Cambodian communists to go through and to get the approval from the fucken Vietcong government just to deal with the fucken Russian government? Why every fucken Cambodian communist decision making and politically contact with the Russian will have to go through the fucken Vietcong government?

I resent the behavior of the fucken Russian government for treating Cambodian communist as the second class communist!

Now I know why the Russian withdrew their troop from Afghanistan and the Vietcong withdrew their troop from Cambodia! Ahhahahhahhahhahahhahha!
