Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said Japan’s government and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) had made leading contributions to Cambodia’s development across sectors. He highlighted support for port infrastructure and management, transport infrastructure, wastewater-treatment system management, studies for major road and bridge projects, and master planning for Cambodia’s logistics system. This support included concessional loans, grants and technical assistance. He also thanked Japan for receiving Cambodian workers under good and reliable conditions.
