BANGKOK, July 6, 2012 (Bernama) -- Thailand and neighbouring Cambodia have jointly launched a "twin radio" programme to serve people living along their common border, in preparation for the establishment of the Single Community of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (Asean) by 2015.
According to Thai News Agency the
Thai-Cambodian twin radio programme is based on a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) on bilateral broadcast and information technology or
IT cooperation between Bangkok and Phnom Penh signed in February 2006.
Under the MOU, Thailand and
Cambodia will exchange radio and television programmes, news reports,
printed materials, documentaries, films, as well as visits by concerned
officials, aimed to boost and strengthen bilateral relations in various
areas, namely education, sports, as well as socio-economic and cultural
spheres.
Meanwhile, Thai and Cambodian
officials attended a workshop in Thailand's northeastern Surin province
on Thursday to discuss and work out joint frameworks of the production
and broadcast contents of the "twin radio" programmes.
