Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen inaugurated this morning the Cambodia-China Friendship Koh Thom Bridge, in Prek Thmey commune, Koh Thom district, Kandal province.
This bridge will play a very significant role in solving the difficulties of the local people and become a key economic artery in the country, he underlined at the inauguration ceremony.
This bridge was constructed under the Framework Agreement on a Concessional Loan Agreement Provided by China to Cambodia (Koh Thom Bridge Project) between the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Government of China signed in April 2013.
