HE Sun Chanthol said Cambodia is currently studying and considering three choices of mass transit system including the AGT, subway, and monorail. However, no decision has been made yet. (Read more)

He, therefore, asked Canada to review and advise on the above three major projects.

Dr Sarah Taylor in response said that Canada can provide training regarding clean infrastructure development and asked the ministry to identify prioritised sectors that need help.

Canada is also looking for local partners or universities to jointly develop a training program for Cambodian students.

HE Sun Chanthol appreciate the help and requested Canada cooperate with Tech Sen Public Works Institute in providing technical training skills to Cambodian students.
