Trat signed a memorandum of understanding on trade and investment cooperation with Koh Kong and Sihanoukville in Cambodia yesterday. The MoU is the extension of an agreement reached three years ago, which succeeded in shoring up falling agricultural produce prices.

The interior and foreign ministries of both countries have approved the development of a sister cities relationship.

Yoy Seuy, deputy governor of Koh Kong province, which is opposite Trat, said bilateral trade and investment could become smoother with help from government agencies.

Koh Kong has grown rapidly with an influx of foreign investment in business, energy, tourism and construction.

Sihanoukville governor Say Hak said the province aims to become the top tourism destination in Cambodia, boasting beaches, an airport, and a deep-sea port.
