Vietnam and Cambodia will strengthen cooperation to plant 100,000 ha of rubber trees in Cambodia by 2012 under an agreement reached during a recent visit to Cambodia by Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat.
During his three-day stay in Cambodia , Minister Phat had a working session with Cambodian Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Chan Sarun, who pledged that Cambodia will create the most favourable conditions for Vietnamese businesses to speed up their rubber planting.
After the talks, the two ministers signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the two ministries’ cooperation in rubber planting in Cambodia . Accordingly, Cambodia and Vietnam will create a favourable environment for rubber growth and processing in the country, especially in technology transfer, material transport and equipment provision.
Minister Phat met with Prime Minister Hun Sen to discuss measures to strengthen cooperation on the development of agriculture, forestry and aquaculture. He also visited and examined the implementation of rubber planting projects in Kompong Thom province.
