PHNOM PENH, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Bilateral trade between Cambodia and
the United States has amounted to 1.44 billion U.S. dollars in the first
six months of the year, up 2 percent compared with 1.41 billion U.S.
dollars over the same period last year, the figures of the U.S.
Department of Commerce showed Wednesday.
Cambodia's export to the U.S. was valued at 1.32 billion U.S. dollars during the January-June period this year, up 4 percent, while the country's import from the U.S. totaled 124 million U.S. dollars, up 3 percent, the figures said.
Kong Putheara, chief of the statistics and planning department at Cambodian Ministry of Commerce, said the growth reflected Cambodia's better economic performance and the U.S.'s economic recovery.
