The Senior Minister stated that Cambodia’s current state of peace provides an opportunity for the country to develop in all areas that provide services to the people, including health services, education services and social services in accordance with the principles of equity.

ADB Country Director for Cambodia ADB, Jyotsana Varma, noted that the ADB has approved an $82 million USD loan to Cambodia for the construction and upgrading Provincial Road 312 in Prey Veng Province and National Road 23 in Kandal Province. She stated that the ADB is committed to continuing to assist Cambodia.

DPM Aun Pornmoniroth said that the project to repair National Road 23 will facilitate travel, reduce transportation costs and boost trade between Cambodia and Vietnam.
