Cambodia on Monday broke ground for the
construction of a China-funded 176-kilometer- road in the Northwestern
part in order to facilitate travelling and trucking agricultural
products to markets.
The ground-breaking ceremony for the road
No. 57B was held Monday in Battambang province about 350 kilometers
northwest of capital Phnom Penh.
The ceremony was attended by
Prime Minister Hun Sen and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Pan Guangxue,
and top government officials, diplomatic corps, locals and students.
The
road will facilitate travelling among former-battlefield provinces of
Battambang, Banteay Meanchey and Pailin, the premier said during the
ceremony.
"The construction of the road today was resulted from
good close cooperation between Cambodia and China," Hun Sen said. "
Through the ambassador Pan Guangxue, I'd like to express my sincere
thanks to the government and people of China for financial support for
this road."
