Cambodian Information Minister Khieu Kanharith on Monday spoke highly of
the excellent relations and cooperation between Cambodia and China in
information sector, pledging to further promote the cooperation for
mutual benefits.
Speaking at a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to
Cambodia Bu Jianguo, the Minister said the Cambodian Ministry of
Information has had a very good relation with the State Administration
of Radio, Film and Television of China, and the country's official news
agency Agence Kampuchea Presse (AKP) has also closely cooperated with
the China's Xinhua News Agency.
The National Television of
Cambodia has also maintained good cooperation with China's CCTV, he
said, adding that the China- Cambodia Friendship Radio, which is
broadcast in Khmer language and covers about 70 percent of the Cambodian
population, has also contributed to developing Sino-Cambodian
friendship relations.
In addition, he said, the country has sent
reporters to visit China every year to further their understanding about
Chinese economics, politics, custom, tradition, culture, and daily
life.
The minister said in the coming years, the National
Television of Cambodia and China's Yunnan TV will jointly invest in a
pay TV with about 70 channels, initially covering Phnom Penh and
provinces of Siem Reap, Battambang and Kampong Cham.
"These is a
good base for us to broaden relations and cooperation between the two
countries and peoples," he said. "The comprehensive strategic
partnership of cooperation between Cambodia and China has made progress
from day to day."
Kanharith said the country is considering opening a bureau for Cambodia's state-run TV in Beijing.
Meanwhile,
Ambassador Bu said information sector played a very important role to
bring closer relations and understanding between the peoples of the two
countries and to deepen bilateral friendship relations.
She pledged to help broaden information cooperation between the two countries during her diplomatic mission.
