Japan has been asked by Prime Minister Hun Sen to assist Cambodia in hosting the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games this year by promoting travel to Cambodia and setting up direct or charter flights for the biannual multi-sport competition.
On February 8, the day before leaving for a three-day visit to China, he made the comments during a meeting with the recently appointed Japanese ambassador to Cambodia, Atsushi Ueno, at the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh.
According to the premier’s social media post following the meeting, Ueno recalled that he first visited Cambodia in 1992 and expressed his happiness to see that the country is now “very developed, stable, and peaceful.”
