“The accomplishments in social development that Cambodia has achieved could not have happened without the significant contributions of the Japanese government and its people,” he said.
He also mentioned the decades of cooperation that had led to a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two nations, which is an important step to improving and expanding bilateral ties between the two countries.
“Ueno told Sar Kheng that he was very pleased that he had been appointed to Cambodia, a country with a rich civilisation and excellent relations with Japan. He was pleased that the two nations had achieved a comprehensive strategic partnership, and proud of Japan’s contributions to Cambodia’s peace and development,” said the interior ministry.
