PHNOM PENH (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday inaugurated the country's first sea-spanning bridge.
The 900-meter bridge, dubbed "Techo Morakat Bridge", connects from the city of Preah Sihanouk to Koh Pos (Snake Island), which is being developed as a high standard tourism destination by a Russia's Koh Pos Cambodia Investment Group Ltd.
The construction, undertaken by Sino-hydro Construction Corporation, cost three years and about 30 million U.S. dollars.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony, the prime minister appreciated the company's efforts to build the bridge despite the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009.
"The development of the island reflects the participation of private sector to boost social and economic development and mirrors the confidence of foreign investors in Cambodian security and political stability," said Hun Sen.
He added coastal Preah Sihanouk province is considered as the country's third economic pole after the capital Phnom Penh and the main destination of cultural and historical heritage areas of Siem Reap-Angkor Wat temples.
"In the future, Cambodia will develop the fourth pole in the country's northeast which has potentials in eco-tourism, agro- industry, and mineral resources exploitation," he said.
Koh Pos Cambodia Investment Group Ltd. was granted a 99-year lease by Cambodian government to develop Koh Pos in 2006 with the investment of about 420 million U.S. dollars.

Prime Minister Hun Sen...!!! with all respect sir ,..what is about Koh Tral Island ? It is bigger than Phom Phen City. When are you going to develop for poor khmer people ?
Hope that you will take it into your consideration planes.
We better have to believe and trust ourselves, because other will not help us without taking profit.
We should never allow any one especially foreigner to have a contract of 99 years! The last time such a contract was inked was between British and Chinese over Hong Kong but the contract was happened because the British put the gun over the Chinese and had Hong Kong 99 years. 99 years contract! What kind of contract is that? That a whole century! All of those contract must be void if there is a new leader run the country. Be warn, those who spent money to bribe of having contract for 99 years do not dream to have them honor for the next government.
Screw Koh Tral!
Soon Kampuchea Krom will be ours.
forget siem and youn dream of colonizing cambodia. cambodia already have our own rich khmer cultural heritage, etc, plus, cambodia always independence and will fight for it, why would siem and youn try or want to colonize cambodia. that's kind of hard for them to do in this day and age, given there are now international law, etc, really! so, i've stop worry about siem or youn colonize cambodia; it's impossible to do given khmer people are independent people and cambodia is a nation, not some kind of a no man's land like during the dark ages era, you know! think about it, it's not possible for siem and youn to colonize cambodia. 15 plus millions khmer is a force to be reckoned with, really! instead, if anything, khmer krom and koh tral should be returned to cambodia in the near future, really!
MOTHERFUCKERS left no park on the island who would want to live in the city on the island?
dangerouse with stome sitnamy and feel like you on the mainland! Only the fucking stupid heads like ah kwack would want that to be a way from people of cambodia!
Resort with no park and small beach! I rather stay on the main land!
Who whould buy house on a small congested island?
I think one day all the henchmen of Ah Cho name their kids after Dekcho or Rany or Net or Sen. Even pet like dog will be named after Hun Sen.
Why everything has to be the name of Hun Sen?
In fact I can see Hun Sen is a stooge. He has been used up for other's personal gain for business or to gain access to something.
If there was a regime change you will all the names will vanished.
I am not politically a filliated person. But I am so sick of many people are sucking up the big boss and fight each other.
Koh Tral will become major tourist destination in the near future and was stolen from Cambodia by the Vietcong government!
-Not Koh Pos!
-Not Koh Ses!
-Not even Koh Pich!
AH HUN SEN is a stupid fool to allow the Vietcong to own Koh Tral!
