KOMPONG CHHNANG, Cambodia — Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday opened a Japan-funded elementary school in the country's central province of Kompong Chhnang.
Abe, who heads a voluntary association of Japanese parliamentarians set up in 1997 to donate schoolhouses to Asian children, participated in an inauguration ceremony in Paches, a village located some 70 kilometers northwest of capital Phnom Penh. He said the school is the eighth that the association has established in Cambodia so far, and that he hopes through this education project, friendly relations between Japan and Cambodia will be strengthened.
