Cambodia wants better ties with Pakistan in economics, trade, tourism: PM

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday expressed his desire to see better relations with Pakistan, particularly in economics, trade and tourism.

The premier made the remarks during a meeting with newly- designated ambassador of Pakistan to Cambodia Amjad Ali Sher at the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh.

He said the two countries signed an agreement on the investment protection and promotion in April 2004 during the visit of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali to Cambodia.

Cambodia wanted to see investments from Pakistan, he said, urging the ambassador to help attract Pakistani investors to Cambodia.

The ambassador said that Pakistan saw Cambodia as an important country in Asia and would try to bolster bilateral ties in all fields, particularly in politics, trade, investment and tourism.
