SOUTH Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak will make a two-day visit to Cambodia in October, a Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman said Monday, on official business that will include the signing of trade deals.

Spokesman Koy Kuong said the exact date was still to be confirmed.

Cambodia Chamber of Commerce Director General Nguon Meng Tech said he had been told the visit would likely take place October 6-7.

He said the chamber would use the visit to sign a memorandum of understanding with the South Korean Chamber of Commerce on trade.

“The MoU is very important for both countries to exchange trade information and to help boost trade links between the two countries,” Nguon Meng Tech said.
