“Cambodia needs infrastructure very much.”
Prime Minister Hun Sen left for China on Monday, where he is expected to sign agreements worth billions of dollars in energy, infrastructure and agriculture projects.

On Sunday, Hun Sen said he was prepared to meet with senior Chinese leaders and sign agreements on 15 different loan, aid and business projects, including the development of a coal-fired electric plant in Preah Sihanouk province. Those would be worth “billions,” he said, without elaborating.

Other projects include construction on 300 kilometers of roads off National Road 4 in Kampot province, irrigation canals and a second bridge linking Phnom Penh to the Chruoy Changvar peninsula between the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers.

Hun Sen will be joined on his visit by the ministers of foreign affairs, commerce, industry, agriculture and transportation, among other senior officials.


Sri Thamrong, a spokesman for Hun Sen, told reporters at Phnom Penh International Airport on Monday that the visit signified a relationship that was growing and improving in “all fields.”

The agreements could bring much needed development to Cambodian infrastructure, said Chan Sophal, president of the Economic Association of Cambodia.

“Cambodia needs infrastructure very much,” he said. “We still lack agricultural irrigation systems, bridges, roads and more. So I see the construction of this infrastructure as the right point that our economy needs.”

In November, China pledged $1.6 billion in infrastructure projects over the next five years. Meanwhile, trade between the two countries continues to grow.

China has imported nearly $1 billion in goods to Cambodia this year, up from $881 million in 2009. Cambodia has exported $48 million in goods so this year, up from $16 million the year before.

NEVER IN OUR HISTORY HAS A COUNTRY DONE SO MUCH FOR CAMBODIA. CHINA HAS SHOWN TO EVERY KHMERS AND THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT SHE IS A DEPENDABLE FRIEND WHO ALWAYS STANDS BY HER FRIENDS.

CHINA IS MORE THAN A FRIEND TO CAMBODIA. SHE IS OUR SAVIOR, AND FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS SHE HAS DONE FOR US, SHE HAS EARNED AN HONOURABLE PLACE IN OUR HEART AND OUR HISTORY.

THANK YOU CHINA,

KHMER NATION

The China is the second richest country in the world after USA.
China failed in 1979 war at North China-Viet border,and
in Pol Pot regime.
Can Hun Sen change his heart?
Everyone has
known that China has spent billion dollars to Cambodia.
Does China want to lose her money at this time?

The fucking Viet Cong is feeling uneasy now. The Big Brother of China is backing up Cambodia. Send us some more antitank weapons in case the VietCong decided to steal our land we will blow them to pieces. This time it won't be easy for them to roll their tanks through Cambodian territories.

USA must really pump some money for SRP otherwise US will not see any influences into Cambodia. If US wants to see democracy sprout in Cambodia they must help SRP financially. If not there is no way that SRP will gain anything and in contrast democracy which intiated by the west expecially from Paris Peace Agreement Summit will be demise and doom.

US must help SRP!!!

The US may slip on this one and lose Cambodia, until they stop seeing what the French used to stupidly see, that the vietcong race is more preferable at the expense of the darker khmer race. In the end, the little vietcongs will have played Uncle Sam like a fool...

Vietnam is more likely to successfully swallow Cambodia than China. Centuries of political and cultural influence, millions of Vietnamese inhabit the Khmer lands, geographical proximity - Cambodia CANNOT be a province of China (1) Too far away (2) China must cross through Viet domain to reach Cambodia (3) Vietnam nor would the International Community allow China to defeat Vietnam nor would it be allowed to incorporate Cambodia.

Why would Khmers choose to be a part of China over Vietnam? Khmers have NOTHING in common with China. Khmers would fit best with Thailand and Vietnam.

FINAL POINT: Without the French interference, there would NOT BE A CAMBODIA NATION-STATE. 19th Century Khmer lands were ruled by Vietnam & Siam.

Khmers, STOP DREAMING OF BEING PART OF CHINA! Pathetic lowlives you are who want to dump your own nation to be with the CHINKS!

Yes, 12:59PM, you are right!. I support you 100%. No foreigner loves Khmer more than Khmer loves Khmer. If we depend too much on foreign country means we surrender of one effort and self confidence. As Khmer empire descendants, we have to stand on our own feet.
