Despite an ongoing border conflict which has caused bloody fighting sporadically along their frontier, Thailand and Cambodia have held their first ever business summit in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh.

Thailand’s Chamber of Commerce also suggested the creation of business information centres in border areas to aid economic development. The centres – termed SME clinics – would boost economic cooperation, said Thai Board of Trade Vice Chairman Niyon Wairatpining.

“Presently new investors, particularly SMEs, are afraid to invest into neighbouring countries, because of a lack of information [needed] for decision making,” he said yesterday. Cambodia Chamber of Commerce
Deputy Director, Sorn Sokna, said the suggestion could boost trade an added that the chamber already had some provincial representative offices.


“We have around 150,000 SMEs looking to put investment into neighbouring countries – if we have SME clinics, they can access information and seek partners,” he said.

“I will set up more offices along the border to ease the situation [of a lack of information],” he said.

Sorn Sokna said the next step would be to ensure there was an easy way to set up the project. Niyon Wairatpining recommended Cambodia set up the clinics through the Ministry of Commerce.

Thai also use anti tanks missile guide make from US to wipe out Hun Sen regime Tanks. Hun Sen's tanks cab be see from the satilite very clear because they are made from metal. Anti-tank missile can delivery very accuraccy to destry all Hun Sen tanks by using live GPS guide from satilide.

All cambodian army don't stay in the tanks if you want to survive OK!

Hun Sen can't update military weapons due to Hun Sen's regime so much currupted. They use the whole nation money for their pockets only that is why they are billionairs, millionairs but 90% cambodians are poor.

Thai, Thailand should know the fact that you had evolved from the Khmer, Thai should see Khmer temples almost every where in Thailand. This proved that Thailand formerly Khmer territory. Thai should stop argue with Khmer and invading Cambodia. Khmer and Thai have the same culture and salute to Buddha.

i think in the current situation of cambodia and thailand, the preah vihear temple and the bilateral talks should always be kept separately, not mixed up because bilateral trades have nothing to do with cambodia's ownership of preah vihear and so forth. of coure, unless thailand want to steal it from cambodia again, then it will become a mixed issue, it shouldn't be, really!
