Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen said recently that China is a country worthy of respect. Without the help of Chinese friends, Cambodia's infrastructure would be difficult to develop. Premier Hun Sen said that when attending the commencement ceremony of the upgrading and reconstruction project of the No. 31 and No. 33 highways supported by China's preferential loans.

Hun Sen said, "Why do we respect our Chinese friends very much? Because the loans provided by China meet the requirements of Cambodia, China has never attached any conditions to the loans to Cambodia, and China has not ordered Cambodia to do this or that by providing loans.

Infrastructure projects for which China has provided loans to Cambodia include: Highway 3, Highway 57, Highway 58, Highway 6, Highway 8, Highway 4, Highway 10, Highway 71C, Highway 31, Highway 33, Highway 41, etc.Editor/Ma Xue
