Give our kids a better deal

PHNOM PENH (Xinhua) -- Kem Sokha, first vice-president of Cambodia's National Assembly, on Wednesday lent his support to Chinese investors in Cambodia and urged them to focus on quality and transparency in their projects.

Kem Sokha, who is also the vice-president of the main opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party, made the remarks during a rare meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Bu Jianguo.
"I informed the ambassador that even though we are in the opposition party, we need to cooperate with China comprehensively, and we welcome and support investments from Chinese investors," he briefed reporters after a one-and-a-half hour meeting.
"For the issues related to investments such as hydropower dam projects, I do not blame the Chinese government and the Chinese investors," he said.
Kem Sokha said he had, through the ambassador, proposed the Chinese government to advise her investors to focus on quality and transparency in their investment projects so that Cambodian people will feel warmth with those investments.
Kem Sokha said he met with Ambassador Bu in his capacity as the first vice-president of the National Assembly.
According to Kem Sokha, Ambassador Bu said China wishes to see long-term cooperation with Cambodia and Chinese investment in Cambodia is to help the people of Cambodia.
The ambassador said the Chinese government is strongly committed to fighting against corruption and always advises all Chinese investors to abide by Cambodian laws and respect the people of Cambodia.
