Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has called for Germany to continue
its aid for new development projects and push for greater German
involvement in commerce and investment, local media said on Tuesday.

The appeal was made during the Monday meeting at Cambodia's National
Assembly between Hun Sen and Hellmut Konigshaus, a member of a German
delegation which arrived in the kingdom on Aug. 20 for a one-week
visit, reported Cambodian-language newspaper the Kampuchea Thmey.

Hun Sen said that German aid has successfully addressed the needs of
both the Cambodian government and the people, and asked Germany to
expand its commerce and investment sectors in Cambodia and to open
bigger markets for Cambodian products.

Hellmut Konigshaus expressed admiration for the Cambodian government's
efforts to bring rapid development to a nation which suffered three
decades of civil war, adding that he hopes cooperation between
Cambodia and Germany will continue to flourish.

Konigshaus also said that Cambodia has successfully implemented the
projects supported by the German government in Siem Reap and Kompong
Thom provinces.
