Cambodia on Monday inaugurated a China-funded National Road 55 that links northwest Pursat province to the Thai border.
Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wentian presided over the ceremony, which was held in Pursat’s Veal Veng district, with about 10,000 participants.
The 182-km road had been built by the China Road and Bridge Corporation in a period of 38 months.
