The Cambodian government has approved the construction of the first-ever waterway connecting the Bassac River in Phnom Penh with the sea in the southwest Kep province, said government chief spokesman Phay Siphan.
The approval was made during a Council of Ministers meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen, Siphan said.
Siphan said the 180-kilometer Bassac River Navigation and Logistics System will link between the Bassac River in the capital and the sea in Kep province, passing through Kandal, Takeo, and Kampot.
