SIEM REAP (Cambodia) - THE world's poorest countries on Thursday called on rich nations to continue giving aid despite the global financial crisis.
The appeal from trade ministers and representatives from nearly 50 Least Developed Countries ended two days of talks in Cambodia's tourist hub Siem Reap to discuss trade and the credit crunch.
Jointly organised by the UN Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) and the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the meetings discussed the need for an Aid for Trade (AFT) initiative to speed up trade reforms in poor countries.
'The least developed countries appeal to rich countries to continue to give all kinds of aid to them,' said Cambodian Commerce Minister Cham Prasidh.
'AFT can help to strengthen our capacity in producing products that can be exported to the rich countries,' he said.
In his opening remarks on Wednesday, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said the world's poorest nations were already suffering from tariffs and strict controls hampering their access to world markets.
Ministers also discussed the latest 'Doha' round of WTO negotiations, officials said.
Attempts to hammer out a global trade pact have repeatedly broken down as the world's poorest nations and economic powers trade blows.
Developing countries have been pressing for greater access to agricultural markets in the industrialised world.
Developed nations are in return seeking a better deal for their manufactured products in developing markets.

This guy can't even enforced the curruptions in his country, but He can beg and begs some more.
He can talk and threaten his people, but no action when it come to his neighbor like vietnam and thai.
After 20's something years, what does he really know about taking care of his people and country?
Very shamefull. But apparently no shame at all. This government is good for nothing, but making the poor even poorer, and put the country in future debts.
The country are poor but the leaders are filthy rich.
It a Chhor Prasidh (zero notion of economy and corrupt to the bone), his whole family work for the government.
This guy Cham Praseth is the most corrupt in our homeland!!!
He has all the best!!!he is not poor!!!
His money is from corruption from the khmer poor!!!
He is´living on the khmer poor!!!
Khmer military and people need to rise up and let their government know that bullying and unfair-ness doesn't last or stand too long.
You fucking guy wrote down about khmer government in this forum.
You are the mostwanted of khmer people to see your face in Cambodia.If you are khmer you never talking bad to our khmer government.So you are siem people.You are motherfucker asshole.
The guy name is ah Chhor Prashit.
I do respect this asshole as a bandit and bag of shit.
12:47 AM
If you look up to the government, that mean you're a fucking innocent asshole (which I doubt) or you earn your bread from them (your benefactor).
Mr. Cham Prasidh's speeches were meaningless at all investment forums. Cambodia would lose more investors if he is still in this position. Hun Sen should have chosen another person, not him, not Keat Chhon. A western educated son of HS is still better than Cham Prasidh.
My dog knows more about economy that ah Cham Prasidh and ah Keat Chhon.
The Beggar is still the beggar. Does he have any shame at all?
1:05AM, you're too proud of your dog. You know the two guys are smarter than my pig.
You guy are right about this mother fucker! He's bloodsucker of khmer people, countryside people don't even have enough rice to feed their family, but these two fucker Pra-shit, and ol-fart kiet motherfucker..they got so much money put in swiss bank, they got fucken nice big motherfucker villa in KOMPONGSOM along the beach...driving lexus/Humm? fucken bloodsucker!
i think it is an obligation for rich nations to help poorer nations because like the environment issues and global warming, etc..., it affected everybody, and making a difference would help this situation tremendously. after all, we all shared the same planet; your suffering is the same as my suffering; therefore, it is good to help each other in the name of humanity. god bless.
Help yourself first your backward countries.These leaders are shameless.They seem to forget that those aid from taxpayers.
If they want to beg for help they must clean their shit first. They get richer and they keep beating to the punch the poor even more.
if you believe this is the right thing to do?
Just do it,No matter what's other people say about.Do it for the Khmer people and for the Kingdom of Cambodia.
To all the donors countries!
Stop donating our money to those poor bastard countries.Those monies went directly into the riches and the powerful only.Each and everyone owned at least 3 or 4 villas and used only luxurious vehicles such as Lexus OR Mercedes.Let them beg OR JUST THROW SHIT ON THEIR FACES.
2:37AM, there are more to cambodia than just these few corrupted officials. don't beat the dog just because you hated its owner; not helping cambodia will only hurt those who needed the most, the poor people. thus, the solution is to fix corruption, and find a suitable solution to these many problems facing the country. please stop barking up the wrong tree, my dear! god bless.
Cambodia should be excluded from those poor countries. Just Cham Braseth alone has the money close to one billions dollars. What about Hun Sen, his families, Sok An and all of his cronies?
If all of this the truth the UN need to step in, And in force the laws and fix the corruption...
The monies Cambodian goverment received from donors, first they divided among their gang members. Then, whatever left over from that they put aside some for Ah Youn secret agents'salary that we know about 200000 of them living in Srok Khmer. So, what is left for the Khmer?. A few bags of rice so they can show on the state telesions and tell the Donors that they have delivered the aid to the Khmer people.
What a fucking government. Ah fucking Hun Sen's government.
All of Ah Sen's supporters deserved to be starved to death. What a butch of fucked brains.
Fuck you, Ah Sen, stop begging others to help you.
Don't beg or blame other countries,
there are numerous ways to fight corruption anywhere in the world. one way to fight corruption is to expose them to the public. the other way as well is to make law the require public officials to declare their assets. remember "public" meaning they belongs to the country and work for the country, not their own, so, if they want to work for the country as a public official, they all must declare their before and after assets. this way, they will think twice before being so power-greedy! god bless cambodia.
Dont cham prasith is also a khmer rouge cadres?
Back in 1990 Hun sen had about 40 Million dollars in Swiss bank, this is just Hun Sen only..what about all of those other?? one of the inside reported from Human right commission(ask not to be name), you guy can do the math..from 1990-until now 2008-09? They got so much money. Hun Sen got alot of money from KEIT MENG,MONG RETHY,SOK KONG, because these guy can do whatever they wanted..like drugs, human trafficking, as long they pay Mr.Hun, that why these people got so much money that you can't believed it!!!!!
Hun Sen will be the richest Ghost in the graveyard....So does Hok Lundy.
I felt very respectfull when seeing the picture of HE. Charm Prashit, a Senior Minister and Minister of Commerce.
However besides corruptions and buraucracy, he can only organize few-times-a-year TRADE EXHIBITION for YUON AND SIAM PRODUCTS.
He knows nothing about creating markets for Cambodian people to sales their crops and other goods.
Bravo Charm Prashit!
Bravo the govenrment!
His real name is ah Chhoe Masit.
His real name is ah Chhor Masirt.
Right now Ah Hun Sen has over FIVE BILLIONS DOLLARS deposited in numerous banks in the world.
Do all Khmers knew that ?
Where Ah Hun Sen Got those monies ?
Yeah, but Ah barbaric Scam Rainxy stole 15 billions from poor Khmer people.
I have NO Comment at this time,But what's belong to Khmer people will go back to the khmer people and what's belong to individual will go back to those individual.I believe the time will tell everything,I am sorry those commit crime...Because bad thing will happen to them.
May God Bless Khmer people and the the Kingdom of Cambodia.Thank you Lord!!!
Wait, where is god when we needed him? Does god really exist? If he does, how come he let Ah SAIMESE, Ah YOUN-KONTORP killing khmer people?? Ah HUN is also killing khmer people right now, by listening to YOUN!!
Death and the Gods
the year,doubtless,is the same as death,for Father Time it is who,by means of day and night,destroys the life of mortal beings,and then they die:therefore the year is the same as death; and whosoever knows this years to be death, his life that year does not destroy, by day and night, before old age, And he attains his full extent of life.
If God really exist, Does he ever care? come on..cut the crap!! khmer people are being kills by thais patrol every day, and the stupid government do nothing about it! Cambodian government is most dumb/stupid i've ever seen...!!!!!
God? where?
If I tell You...You won't believe me.God? where?
If you think the Government of Cambodia are stupid,what's the thing you should do to solve all of this matter..If you are the Government of Cambodia?
