Cambodia considers strategic relationship with Japan

PHNOM PENH, 4 May 2012 (Cambodia Herald) - Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said Friday that Cambodia was considering a strategic relationship with Japan.

Koy Kuong (pictured), spokesman at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said the issue was discussed during a meeting with Joe Nakano, the Japanese parliamentary vice minister for foreign affairs. 
"We’re trying to shift bilateral ties into strategic ties," Hor Namhong was quoted as saying. "Cambodia has long had relations with Japan and the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries is next year."
Kou Kuong said Friday's talk focused on the increasingly close bilateral ties between the two countries. Cambodia hopes that they can forge a strategic partnership as it  already has such a relationship with China while Japan has strategic ties with four countries in the ASEAN region.
