PHNOM PENH — The Japanese government pledged Saturday to help Cambodia in information communication technologies, a move Japan said will help boost economic growth. The pledge was made by Kunio Hatoyama, Japanese minister of internal affairs and communications, at a meeting with So Khun, Cambodian’s minister of posts and telecommunications.

During the talks, Hatoyama credited ICT with contributing about 40% to Japanese economic growth. ‘‘Japan will implement a feasibility study by Japanese experts, make a presentation on new technologies for next generation IP (Internet protocol) networks, and give advice on a Cambodia broadband master plan,’’ a record of the discussions showed.
