Samdech Techo Hun Sen, President of the Senate of Cambodia, confirmed that a Japanese ship will be the first vessel to dock at the newly inaugurated Ream Port. This historic event underscores the growing cooperation between Cambodia and Japan, particularly in security and infrastructure development.

During the discussions, Samdech Techo expressed heartfelt gratitude for Japan’s unwavering support of Cambodia’s development since its independence.
