PHNOM PENH, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia and Russia on Tuesday reached 10 agreements, aiming to promote ties and cooperation between the two countries, according to an announcement at the signing ceremony here.

The pacts were signed by senior officials of the two countries at the Peace Palace under the presence of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and visiting Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

The deals included cooperation in nuclear power technologies for peaceful development, information exchange on money laundering and terrorism financing, air transport services, investment, information, culture, and health.

Also, an agreement on cooperation between the ruling Cambodian People's Party and the ruling United Russia party was signed.

Prior to the signing ceremony, the two prime ministers held a 90-minute talk, vowing to enhance bilateral ties and cooperation for the benefits of two countries and peoples, Eang Sophalleth, a spokesman for Hun Sen, told reporters after the meeting.

He said Hun Sen asked Medvedev to encourage more Russian investors to Cambodia and also urged Russia to operate direct flights to Cambodia.

In addition, the prime minister also proposed that Russia purchase Cambodian rice and garment products.

"In response, the Russian prime minister agreed with Prime Minister Hun Sen's proposals, saying that the proposals were important to enhance cooperation in industries, energy, information technology, agriculture, and tourism between the two countries," the spokesman said.

The two leaders also discussed the debt that Cambodia owed Russia in the 1980s, but no decision was made yet, he said.

Medvedev arrived in Cambodia on Sunday for a three-day visit. During his stay, he had also visited the famed Angkor Wat Temple in northwestern Siem Reap province.

Even though former U.S.S.R supported with logistics, political and supplied Hanoi invasion of Cambodia. Russian had always been supportive the existence of Khmer race. Out of all the major powers (Vietnam, China, U.S, Thailand, Russia) that involved in Cambodian genocide Russian had the least Cambodian blood in their hands. Russia communist more kinder than China. Khmer Rough adopted Chinese communist rather then Kremlin communist. Russian are actually kind peoples ounce you get to know them. They seem more mean compare to western European but got much more kinder heart.

Today some of the most advance SAM air defense systems China have, they will not sell or supply to Cambodia fearing us defending ourselves against Thailand mighty air force. Chinese viewed relationship with Siam more importance than Cambodian because of most of Thai businesses are Chinese owned.

Russian made second best weapons in the world compared to U.S and Russian weapons are much cheaper and most useful to our armed forces against hungry neighbors Vietnam, Thailand, to small degree Laos. If the Chinese refused to supply us with loner rang SAM system then Russian will with favorable loans.

Hey I disagree with your comment.

1. The Russian had a huge role in the genocide in Cambodia especially during the Khmer Rouge regime and after the Khmer Rouge Regime.

2. The Russians and the Chinese had equal role in helping the Youn in the genocide of the Khmer people.

3. Actually, the Chinese had no role in the genocide in the Khmer people. It was the Youn who trained and supply the Khmer (teachers, and villagers), the Viet-Minh to attack the Lon Nol government.

4. Without the Youn, there wouldnt be a genocide, so dont tell me you still believe it was the Chinese who orchestrated the genocide in Cambodia.

4. After the Youn held hands with the Russian, the Youn continued to use Russia ammonations and mines. Majority of the land mines in Cambodia came from Russia. While the B52 bombs came from America.

5. Of course the relationship between the Siam and Chinese will be more importance than us, because Cambodia is still under Hun Sen and Hun Sen works for the Youn.

6. At the moment we cant turn our back on anyone, but to get ride of the hidden enemy of the Khmer people. Not the Youn, Russia, America or China.

They all had a role in the genocide of the Khmer people. But the Youn got the most benifit out of orchestrating the genocide.

25 November 2015 at 04:46 I never say that Russia had no hand in Khmer Rough genocide. Please do the research more. The KR used Mao Chinese communist ideas while the Viets & Laotian used Russian communist ideas. You can see the both our neighbors didn't committed genocide on its own populations. Chinese lost almost 35 millions its own citizens and so Pol Pot followed Chinese. Yes, Youn trained and build up Khmer Viet Minh but Youn didn't raised Khmer Rough troops hands to hit Khmer heads with an iron bars. We stupidly did it to our own peoples. Plus, during Khmer Rough years Chinese military advisers witness Khmer Rough killing and did nothing. Chinese medical staffs even cut open Cambodian prisoners bowls to teach medical stuff to Khmer Rough medical staffs.

I don't approved Youn invasion, occupations, annexation of our land & island territories but without U.S.S.R supplied Vietnamese forces with satelite photo and ammunitions Khmer Rough Mao would had wiped out most of us. We wouldn't be here chatting with each others with politics or I wouldn't be actively working on aircraft maintenance for an airline. The Viets with Russian helps indirectly liberated us all. In my village my family and my sister in law families were to kill because my brother in law ran to joined Heng Samrin forces. We were save by Vietnamese troops attacked Khmer Rough mountain outpost 3 days early. I owed my life to god, my mom, Vietnamese with Russian helps invasion.

Oh do research again most of land mines in Cambodia were supplied by Chinese to Khmer Rough and the 3 Non-communist resistances forces.

I don't agree with your view at outer appearance it seems. Dig deeper. Who is behind and is the core of the communism block?
