PHNOM PENH, June 15 (Xinhua) -- The newly-designated Ambassador of the United States to Cambodia William E. Todd on Friday pledged to strengthen and expand the relations and cooperation with Cambodia in all fields for mutual interests.
He made the remark during a meeting with President of Cambodia' s National Assembly Heng Samrin, Kaim Sokal, the spokesman for Heng Samrin, told reporters after the meeting.
Todd said the United States would still continue helping Cambodia strengthen democracy and human rights.
He added that the visit of Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong to the United States on June 12 was a new testament of growing relationship between the two countries and that in July, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make a visit to Cambodia to attend the 19th ASEAN Regional Forum.
Meanwhile, Heng Samrin said the two countries' relations and cooperation have gradually strengthened and expanded, especially in the fields of politics, foreign affairs, military, trade, education, health and demining.
On bilateral trade, he said, Cambodia exported garments and footwear to the United States equivalent to 2 billion U.S. dollars last year. In return, the United States exported to Cambodia an amount of 180 million U.S. dollars.
Todd substituted the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Cambodia Carol A.Rodley. He had presented his credentials to Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni to mark his official start of diplomatic mission in the kingdom last Friday.

Dear Ambassador Todd,
The democracy and human rights, introduced by UNTAC in 1993 have been already destroyed by Hun Sen and cronies. There are nothing left for you and the US to strengthen.
If you and the US government want bonafide democracy and human rights with Hun Sen, impose conditions to all US aids.

imposing aid don't always work. that is nothing new, really. i think cooperation, partnering and all the other good diplomatic, friendly gesture ways are much better. and cambodia is not all about the pessmist, the cynics, the skeptical, the opposition, etc... there are more to cambodia than them, really. hurting cambodia is not the key to help finding a good, sound solution, help finding a solution is better. and cambodia has changed and there were many reforms already. cambodia now is encourage all people to live, work, play by the rule of law. for your information, cambodia is acutally experienceing a real, fledgling democracy system of gov't, really. it is wrong policy to take side and be blinded by some unruly people's politics. the good approach is to partner up with cambodia and work together like a teamsport game to achieve whatever we all wanted to achieve. cambodia is not beyond repair. i encourage we all use empowerment, and all other good psychological support to win the heart and win of the nation; i don't think cambodia want to be antagonist with anyone. if any, cambodia is very eager to reform, continue improvement through more education, trainings, especially in the ethical code of conduct, professionalism, civilized, diplomatic way, really. the KR era is now behind us, i think cambodia is looking forward a better, brighter future, not the other way around. in my opinion, i think america can help to make a real, lasting difference once and for all in cambodia by partnering up and cooperation and educating and sharing with cambodia the skills cambodia needed to achieve our common bonds, etc, etc... you know. of the millions of people of cambodia, of course, you will see one or two who will try to defy anything to their liking without regards to the rule of law. and those unruly few will also try to use their mental instability and negative, emotional view or untrusthworthy view to hurt cambodia as if cambodia is all about them. actually cambodia is not all about them as there are more to cambodia than you and i, really. continue to hurt and isolate and deprive cambodia an opportunity, education, etc is not the answer to improvement, etc... i hope the US will always strengthen our friendship, partnership and invest more in cambodia in anyway america can to help cambodia to become a better, responsible nation so all can enjoy. cambodia wanted to be a part of the world, in contributing to the world peace, prosperity, education and learning, etc, etc. please do not let this opportunity past by without an afford to improve and strengthen. i believe the rule of law will minimize bias, prejudice, discrimination and all that unwanted things out there, really. may god bless my country cambodia and america always. and do welcome to cambodia, mr. ambassador. khmer/american friendship always.
sanction is not the key to re-establish allies, cooperation, etc... i think education and training is a way to improve communication and foster understanding and friendship, etc, you know. never give up on cambodia. it's hard work, but it is necessary to get it done with cambodia, i believe.
To Mr. you know, i etc,etc really you know ,
you know really really !
Please learn how to write and compose your

Royston Wilson: When black color makes a bathroom bigger
Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia
construction materials
, outfitted with black color, a bathroom might seems small and intimidating.
However, following the innovative idea of designer Royston Wilson, there are ways to alter it.
"To counter this, I introduced a transparent shower frame, avoiding a visual barrier blocking this area off from the greater space. I also chose a deep toekick for the vanity – giving it a floating, airy appeal – and, similarly, set the large mirror proud of the wall to imply another layer of space beyond it." said Wilson.
"The pearl-grey vanity cabinets work against this and a large window in opaque glass alongside the shower lets in plenty of diffuse natural light,"
stated the designer. "As well as giving the impression of double the space, the mirror that runs the full length of one wall also bounces light around the room."
Holiday lifestyle by Sheryl Stuart
As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, located in a summer holiday house, the kitchen was designed to cater to the repose theme.
Designer Sheryl Stuart decided to choose Formica Melteca cabinets in Rocksalt from The Laminex Group which includes a tall pantry and crockery unit, and doors for the integrated appliances to complement the surrounding nature.
"With their clean, minimal lines, the units are more like furniture than cabinetry," says the designer. "The colors of the laminates on the cabinetry and benchtops are reminiscent of the surf and the sand," added Stuart. "Formica Melteca is available in a range of textures and colors, including neutral colors in contemporary fashion tones. This was exactly what we needed to create the modern beach bach feel we wanted for this kitchen."
