Cambodia Ambitious to Transform Northeastern Part into New Pole of National Economy

Prime Minister Hun Sen has expressed his ambition to transform the northeastern part of Cambodia into a new pole of national economy.

Addressing to the inauguration ceremony for the official use of National Road No. 7 Rehabilitation Project from Klastus in Kratie provincial city to Romeat district, Kratie province this morning, PM Hun Sen said the Royal Government of Cambodia had put all efforts to develop various economic poles, including Phnom Penh, Preah Sihanouk, Siem Reap and the northeastern part: Kratie, Stung Treng, Rattanakiri, Mondulkiri, and Preah Vihear.

The Premier said the northeastern part is a major potential area for national development with its growing agro-industry and gold extraction, while other mineral resources, including Bauxite, have not yet been subject to studies on their potential.

PM Hun Sen also encouraged the development of key infrastructure such as clean water, energy, and so on at the northeastern region. AKP
