Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on the sidelines of the 19th ASEAN Summit here today to discuss bilateral cooperation.
Dr Singh assured his Cambodian counterpart of India’s continued cooperation and assistance to his country. He said India had assisted Cambodia in setting up entrepreneurship development centres, and it was now helping it in water resources management, information technology, English language training and so on.
The PM especially thanked Cambodia, which has been the ASEAN coordinator for India and would be doing this leading up to the commemorative year next year, which would mark the 20th anniversary of India's dialogue partnership with ASEAN and the tenth anniversary of India's summit level partnership with ASEAN. They also discussed the programme for the commemorative year, Dr Singh said.
Mr Sen, who last visited India in 2007, expressed his gratitude to India for assisting in the renovation of the Ta Prohm temple.
The issue of the possibility of direct flight connectivity between the two countries and the promotion of tourism also came during the discussions, Dr Singh added.
