New deals to enhance commercial ties with Cambodia

The nation will enhance economic ties with Cambodia in areas including transportation infrastructure, tourism, e-commerce and trade in agricultural products to generate new growth momentum, said the Ministry of Commerce.

The two countries signed a number of agreements earlier this month including a deal in which China will help Cambodia improve the kingdom's educational sector, a $2.5 million cash transfer agreement to assist Cambodia's mine clearance projects and a restoration project at Angkor Wat, the country's top tourist destination.

The two governments also held the first meeting of the China-Cambodia e-commerce working group and a partnership mechanism between the two sides.
