THE Cambodian government is set to sign a deal with the Chinese government for rice exports later this week, according to Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Speaking at a graduation ceremony at Phnom Penh’s International Institute of Cambodia’s University of Technology, the Prime Minister said yesterday that the rice agreement would help to cement the Kingdom’s trading ties with the world’s second-largest economy.

“We have begun actively negotiating with the Chinese in order to boost rice exports,” he said.

“China is also the main rice importer from Thailand and Vietnam.”
