In a meeting lasting over three-hours, which saw the government meet with delegations from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and China Oil and Foodstuff Corporation, officials said the signing would take place in December, when Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen would pay a state visit to the People’s Republic.
