Cambodia, Japan To Strengthen Cooperation In Information Sector

Phnom Penh, September 06, 2023 --

Cambodia and Japan have spoken highly of their cooperation in the field of information and agreed to continue and strengthen it.

The agreement was made between H.E. Neth Pheaktra, Cambodian Minister of Information and H.E. Ueno Atsushi, Ambassador of Japan to Cambodia, during their meeting here at the ministry this morning.

In the meeting, both sides also reviewed their past cooperation and discussed future directions on media and information sector between the two countries.

H.E. Neth Pheaktra expressed his gratitude to Japan for its support for the National Television of Cambodia (TVK), especially the recent technical assistance for the organisation of ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest 2023 (ABU ROBOCON 2023).

Besides, H.E. Minister sought support from Japan for the ministry’s media modernisation plan.

H.E. Ueno Atsushi congratulated H.E. Neth Pheaktra on his appointment as the Minister of Information of Cambodia and praised the Ministry of Information for the successful hosting of the ABU Robocon 2023, through which, he believed, young Cambodians will be interested more in science and engineering.

The discussion also touched the cooperation in the fight against fake news.
