Cambodia and Iran had agreed to enhance bilateral relations and cooperation in economics, trade, investment and culture, a Cambodian senior official said Monday.
The verbal agreement was made between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Aug. 30 when Hun Sen attended the 16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on Aug. 30-31 in Iran.
"Both sides agreed to strengthen bilateral ties, especially in economics, trade, investment and culture," Aun Porn Moniroth, secretary of State at Cambodian Ministry of Economy and Finance, told reporters.
He said the two leaders advised both sides' officials to discuss and set out practical measures to boost the cooperation.
"The two leaders also agreed to boost cooperation in oil and gas. In this sense, Iran will help Cambodia in human resources development," said Moniroth.
Besides, Iran promised to support Cambodia's candidacy as the non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in the 2013-2014 term.
