Chan Sarun, minister of agriculture, forestry and fishery, said that he will provide clarifications at the National Assembly floor on 18 October (tomorrow), regarding plans for administering forests, and for the development of rubber plantations. Chan Sarun’s clarification visit to the National Assembly was requested by opposition MP Son Chhay in a letter dated 11 June 2007, sent to prime minister Hun Sen through the president of the National Assembly. Son Chhay said in his request that the invitation issued to Chan Sarun to come and provide clarifications is necessary, and is very important to allow the MPs to ask him directly about land concessions and plans for development of rubber plantations, as well as on the current administration of forests.
