Cambodia will be able to attract more Japanese investors following Prime Minister Hun Sen’s two-day visit to Tokyo November 6-7, according to a government official.
The premier Hun Sen led a delegation yesterday morning to Japan attending a two-day Mekong-Japan summit in Tokyo.
“The summit will focus on broadening cooperation and relationship between Mekong River nations and Japan. The Japanese Government vows to help and strengthen infrastructure development along the south, west and north economic gates,” Sri Thamrong, the premier’s advisor, told reporters at Phnom Penh International Airport on Thursday.
The summit will also center on exchanging human resources, goods, tourism area, cultures and the Japanese Government’s donor support to the nations along Mekong River, aiming to create ASEAN community by 2015, he said.
“The discussion in the summit is to talk about matters facing the people, such as disaster control, environmental control, human training, and to give scholarships to the country members,” Sri Thamrong added. The premier will talk with private Japanese companies to show the investment potential in Cambodia, he said.
“The premier also meets with high-ranking Japanese officials, and the premier will have bilateral discussions with Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama,” Sri Thamrong added. So far, the Japanese Govern-ment has provided Cambodia with around US$1,700 billion.
Premier Hun Sen and his delegation will arrive in Cambodia on Sun- day afternoon, Sri Thamrong added.
