CAMBODIA-NORTH KOREA UPDATE BILATERAL AGREEMENTS

Cambodia and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have inked the agreements to expand bilateral trade, technologies, agriculture, industry, investment and the health sector, and both sides also are trying to boost close ties for mutual benefits while both nations’ trading has been reported to be almost at a zero point although diplomatic relations have existed for years. The agreement was signed by H.E. Ouch Borith, Secretary of State for Cambodia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and visiting H.E. Ri Myong San Trade Vice-Minister of DPRK during the Cambodia-North Korea Joint Commission (JC) meeting conducted at the Kingdom’s Foreign Affairs Ministry on July 27. After the signing to review, the last seven sectors on Cambodia-North Korea agreement made in 1993, H.E. Ouch Borith, told members of media that “both parties have agreed for the technology exchange in the agricultural sector.”
