Korea, Cambodia agree on large-scale economic projects By Byun Duk-kun SEOUL, June 4 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen agreed Thursday to significantly boost their countries' economic ties following the signing of a number of deals on aid and joint economic projects. Seoul will provide US$60-million in loans from its Economic Development Cooperation Fund for the construction of new roads and sewerage in Cambodia, according to presidential office Cheong Wa Dae. South Korea also agreed to start providing Official Development Aid (ODA) to Cambodia in a framework agreement signed shortly after a summit between the two leaders. "The leaders noted the relationship between the countries has significantly improved since they restored their diplomatic ties in 1997," Cheong Wa Dae said in a press release following the summit. Seoul had severed its ties with Phnom Penh in 1975 when the communist Khmer Rouge government took control of Cambodia. "President Lee said South Korea will actively share its development experience with Cambodia as part of its new diplomatic campaign toward Asia and agreed to provide ODA for Cambodia's agricultural, medical, industrial and educational development," the statement said. Hun Sen arrived in South Korea earlier in the week for a special summit between Korea and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) that was held on the southern resort island of Jeju. The South Korean president offered his gratitude for Cambodia's support for a joint press statement issued at the end of the Korea-ASEAN summit, in which the leaders condemned North Korea for its latest nuclear test and urged the immediate resumption of dialogue to resolve the issue. "I thank you for taking part in the special Korea-ASEAN summit and helping to successfully hold the summit," Lee said. "I also want to thank you for speaking in accordance with South Korea against North Korea's nuclear test." Pyongyang has said it conducted a second nuclear test on May 25, prompting the international community and the U.N. Security Council to discuss imposing new sanctions on the North. Thursday's bilateral summit in Seoul was followed by a signing ceremony on six agreements, including three memorandums of understanding (MOU) on energy, construction and transportation cooperation. "The leaders welcomed the signing of the MOUs and agreed to further increase cooperation between the two countries," the presidential office said. Lee asked for Cambodia's support on a joint project under which Seoul plans to build a 50-hectare industrial park near Sihanoukville in southern Cambodia. "Prime Minister Hun Sen said his government will actively review and support the project," the statement said. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_BR_life_in_synch_062009 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
