Kuwait loans Cambodia $546m

Trade Arabia

Phnom Penh: Kuwait has agreed to give Cambodia loans totalling $546 million to develop agriculture, build hydro-power facilities and construct roads, a Cambodian foreign ministry official said on Friday.

This is the second-biggest aid pledge ever received by Cambodia, after aid and loans totalling $601 million offered by China last year.

"This is showing a stronger relationship between Kuwait and Cambodia, both political and economic," Cambodian foreign ministry spokesman Sin Bunthoeurn told Reuters late on Thursday after the ministry hosted bilateral ministerial talks.

He said they planned to open embassies early next year. The two countries have had diplomatic ties since 1997.

A Kuwaiti newspaper reported that Kuwait had leased rice fields in Cambodia to secure food supplies after Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah met Cambodian leaders earlier this month.

Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, paid his first official visit to Cambodia in April 2008 and Qatar plans to invest $200 million in Cambodian farmland.

Some $486 million from the Kuwaiti loan will be invested in irrigation systems and hydro-power on the Stueng Sen river in the northeastern province of Kampong Thom.

The remaining $60 million will be used for building roads in the northwestern province of Battambang, a rice-growing area, Sin Bunthoeurn said.

Kuwait has signed more than $27 billion of investment agreements with nine Asian countries during an Asian tour this month, its finance minister was reported as saying on Aug. 17. - Reuters

Some people are even boasting about how they use vouchers to save money.
Some of these ads have printed coupons that you can use when you purchase certain product or products in the advertised stores.
With the use of Internet Voucher Codes, it is certainly possible to shop over
the internet from the comfort of one's home and save money on those much required products.

In contrast, the non-organic gardener is more likely to use chemically created fertilizers.
Use the cultivator to make holes in the soil and turn
it up just a little between the rows. Organic gardening teaches kids about the value of hard work
and its rewards.

Dont let the packaging fool you into buying something that may damage
your hair. The key to getting the most out of a hot oil treatment for hair is to continuously use it weekly if you need it or every fortnight and youll definitely see the results.
Sometimes, this process starts from the temples and goes back, and sometimes it begins from the top of the head.
From my experience, it is quite difficult to style hair immediately after a hot oil
treatment, so you might want to skip the curling iron
or hot rollers. Customers have always given Moroccan Oil products the highest ratings.
