Thai
officials have joined a foundation stone-laying ceremony in Cambodia for the
construction of a railway linking the two countrie.
Linking
the border towns of Klong Luek in Thailand and Poipet in Cambodia, "the
new line is expected to boost growth in tourism and trade." The official
news agency said it was hoped that the new line would also enable the
neighbouring provinces of Sakeo and Banteay Meanchey to be logistics hubs when
the ASEAN Economy Community kicks off next year.
The
section from Poipet to the Banteay Meanchey provincial capital of Sisophon,
which is connected to Phnom Penh, has recently been undergoing rehabilitation.
