Cambodia Seeks China’s Support in Inspection Sector

AKP Phnom Penh, October 04, 2016 –

Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Assembly-Senate Relations and Inspection H.E. Ms. Mem Sam An has requested China to help Cambodia in the inspection sector.

The request was made during her meeting with newly appointed Ambassador of China to Cambodia H.E. Xiong Bo, in Phnom Penh on Oct. 3.

H.E. Ms. Mem Sam An suggested the signing of a cooperation MoU between the Cambodian Ministry of National Assembly-Senate Relations and Inspection and the Chinese Ministry of Supervision as soon as possible so that the Chinese side can dispatch its experts to assist Cambodia in capacity building.

According to the Cambodian DPM, the Chinese side planned to provide to Cambodia not only technical, but also material support, and to fund the study visit of Cambodian expert officials to get experience in China.

H.E. Ms. Men Sam An also informed the new Chinese diplomat of the drafting process of the inspection law which, she said, requires experience sharing and technical assistance from foreign countries so as to get a comprehensive and acceptable draft law.

For his part, H.E. Xiong Bo pledged to push for the signing of the above-said MoU while both sides have already completed the MoU drafting.
