Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Hui Liangyu arrived in Cambodia Wednesday to hold trade talks with Cambodian leaders.
The two countries maintain cooperation in politics, economy, trade, culture and people-to-people exchanges, and close coordination on international and regional affairs, according to officials.
In a three-day visit, Hui Liangyu is expected to meet with Prime Minister Hun Sen, Council Minister Sok An and Deputy Prime Minister Yim Chayly.
He will sign agreements on agriculture and telecommunications, including a joint venture between China’s Hua Wei and Cambodia’s Mobitel, according to Phay Siphan, a spokesman for the Council of Ministers.
“Hun Sen has always encouraged Chinese investors to Cambodia as well as providing opportunities of technical change and the increase of investment services for Cambodian laborers,” he said.
Hui Liangyu’s arrival comes just months after the December visit of Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, during which China pledged $1.2 billion in assistance.
China invested more than $6.5 billion in Cambodia from 1994 to 2009, according to government figures. China’s investment of $4.3 billion in investment in 2008 comprised 40 percent of total foreign investment.

ReplyDeletekhmer rouge and chin yuon long affaire, nothing surprise
ReplyDeleteFirst agenda on this Chinese Prime Minister list is the issue of women shortage for single men in China.
ReplyDeleteFor exchange of good will for both countries that both can benefit from: I would like to address your honor Hun Sen in exchange for young girls of Cambodia to be had for our single men of our province in Bejing. In exchange for these young pretty girls of yours we (Chinese) would like to build for Cambodia 500 hundred modern toilets in Mondulkori province so the people there will not have to worry about being bitten by poisonous snakes while they ease themselves. How about 1000 young girls for every 100 toilets-your honor? Just think about it your honor, 5000 less poverty for your people? I'm not degrading girls by using toilets as an exchange. Any thing else would work just find. China does have imbalance of male and female ratio due to forced abortions. Obama gave plan parenthood millions of dollars to open clinics in China to reduce more human sanctity.
Old day all over again and one day , all westerners has to pack and go home.
