PHNOM PENH — Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday praised Japan’s contributions to peace in Cambodia over the years and said Tokyo is playing a key role as a development partner in the Mekong River region. In a written interview with a group of senior editors from Kyodo News’ member newspapers visiting Cambodia, Hun Sen expressed a request for Japan to upgrade infrastructure to strengthen ties in the region.
In particular, Hun Sen sought support as ‘‘a highest priority’’ for the Mekong River Bridge that will serve as the final gateway of the Southern Economic Corridor, and requested cooperation in world heritage protection. Hun Sen said Japan has played a key role in seeking justice for the victims of the genocidal Pol Pot regime by contributing both spiritual and financial support for the work of the Khmer Rouge tribunal. He said Japan has provided $56.9 million to the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, nearly half of the total budget spent by both Cambodia and United Nations since it began operation from 2006
