Neighbouring Cambodia and Thailand have vowed to boost their economic growth through infrastructure, trade, investment and tourism connectivity.
The commitment was made by President of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), Hun Sen, and visiting Ms Paetongtarn Shinawatra, President of the Pheu Thai Party, during their bilateral talks at the 7th January Palace in Phnom Penh Momnday, according to a press release of CPP issued.
Hun Sen shared with his guest Cambodia’s economic situation after the collapse of the Democratic Kampuchea (Khmer Rouge regime), peace seeking, transformation of the former battlefields into development zones and the border area into a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development.
Shinawatra has been on a two-day (March a 18-19) visit to Cambodia at the invitation of Hun Sen. This is part of the high-level visit exchange between the two ruling parties based on their friendship and close cooperation.
“The visit is also a contribution to promoting the cooperation of neighbouring countries, and the ‘strategic partnership’ announced during the official visit of Prime Minister Hun Manet to the Kingdom of Thailand in February 2024,” said the press release.
Besides Hun Sen, Shinawatra paid separate courtesy calls on Say Chhum, President of the Senate, and Kitti Setha Pundit Cheam Yeap, First Vice President of the National Assembly, and exchanged views with many CPP’s young leaders who are members of the Royal Government and Parliament, including Deputy Prime Minister Hun Many, Member of the CPP’s Standing Committee and Minister of Civil Service.
The high-level delegation of Pheu Thai Party is scheduled to visit tomorrow the Choeung Ek Extermination Centre and the Win-Win Memorial in Phnom Penh to learn more about Cambodia’s recent history, especially the Win-Win Policy that has brought peace, stability and development to Cambodia.AKP khmertimeskh
