Before departing Cambodia this week, Hidehisa Horinouchi, the outgoing Japanese ambassador to Cambodia sent a message to the people saying that the Kingdom had maintained an average annual economic growth of seven per cent and that bilateral relations between the two countries had made great strides forward.
On the Facebook page of the Japanese embassy in Cambodia on Friday, Horinouchi said that bilateral trade, direct investment, and the organisation of exchange visits had resulted in considerable growth.
“I am lucky to attend the Japanese-Cambodian summit between His Excellency Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Samdech Techo Prime Minister Hun Sen on three occasions for three years,” he said.
