PHNOM PENH, April 19 (Xinhua)—China Radio International (CRI) is slated to open its representative office here sometimes this year, aiming at promoting closer relations and friendships between the people of China and Cambodia, said a CRI official on Tuesday.
During a meeting with Cambodian Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith, the visiting
Alexia Xu, deputy director of the CRI’s Broadcasting Department, said that her visit to Cambodia was to learn about the procedures and requirements in Cambodia toward the establishment of the ICR’s office in Phnom Penh.
Since December 2008, CRI has a Cambodia-China Friendship Radio in Phnom Penh and broadcast from Beijing, but it has no office here yet.
CRI has also planned to set up a Cambodia-China Friendship radio station with 10 kilowatt broadcasting power in Siem Reap province soon.
Meanwhile, the minister expressed his full support for the office set-up here and pledged to facilitate this task.
“When the installation of the radio station in Siem Reap comes online, including the existing Cambodia-China radio in Phnom Penh, the CRI will cover the broadcast of about 85 percent of Cambodia,” said Kieu Kanharith.
CRI's programs include news, current affairs, and features on politics, the economy, culture, science and technology. (Written by Nguon Sovan)
