Japan signed an agreement on Wednesday to provide a $131 million grant to Cambodia to build what will be the longest bridge across the Mekong River and a major link in a regional transport network.
Construction of the bridge over the Mekong, at the town of Neak Leoung, southeast of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, is expected to begin soon and should be completed by 2015.
"It's to contribute to the transfer of people and goods for Cambodia and all the Mekong region," Japan's ambassador to Cambodia, Masafumi Kuroki, told reporters at the signing ceremony.
