Prime Minister Hun Sen Calls For Maintaining Trade Exchanges With Thailand

Phnom Penh 16 February 2011 -- AKP

Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen has called on the provinces bordering with Thailand to continue trade exchanges as usual.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of National Highway 59 in Poipet of Banteay Meanchey province yesterday, Samdech Techo Hun Sen stressed the government policy to turn all Cambodian border areas with the neighboring countries into a border of peace, friendship and cooperation.

'We allowed Thai vehicles to enter as far as 30 kilometers to transport the sold agricultural produce to Thailand, while the disputed area is set aside for the resolution in place rather than being spread further," he said.

He made known that Cambodia-Thailand Trade Exhibition will be held in Phnom Penh on Feb. 17 due to be attended by a Thai deputy prime minister whom he will also meet.

The Chambers of Commerce of Cambodia and Thailand will gather with the participation of Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister H.E. Keat Chhon and Cambodian Senior Minister and Commerce Minister H.E. Cham Prasidh, through which the Cambodian premier requested for keeping a good relation with each other. -AKP
