PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Cambodia signed a memorandum of understanding and an air services agreement Monday with the Indian Ocean island of Seychelles, the Seychelles News Agency reported.

The report said the agreement was signed by Mao Havannal, secretary of state of Cambodia's State Secretariat of Civil Aviation, and Wilfred Fock Tave, General Manager of Operations of the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority.

“The conclusion of this new agreement is proof of Seychelles continued determination in its attempt to open up Seychelles International Airport to the rest of the world, making air services operation possible through a set of legal framework with flexible provisions for charters as well as airline operations for the future,” Fock Tave said in a statement.

Seychelles Minister for Home Affairs and Transport Joel Morgan said the African country was keen to deepen ties with Cambodia in areas such as air services, tourism, agriculture, trade and investment.

“Cambodia is a worthy addition to our list of prospective future destination for Seychelles as it entices the travelling public, including the business community, traders, as well as tourism partners to discover this enigmatic country and to assess what opportunities exist for exploitation,” Morgan said.
