PHNOM PENH, March 3 (Xinhua) -- British Prime Minister's Trade Envoy
Lord Puttnam will visit Cambodia from March 4 to 7 to strengthen
bilateral trade and investment relations, according to a press statement
from the British Embassy here on Monday.
"I am delighted to visit Cambodia for the first time as David Cameron's Trade Envoy to understand more about trade and investment environment in Cambodia," Lord Puttnam said in the statement. "I wish to boost commercial, educational, cultural and political relations between our two kingdoms."
During his visit, Lord Puttnam will call on Prime Minister Hun Sen, Education Minister Hang Choun Naron, and Commerce Minister Sun Chanthol, to discuss business and education opportunities and challenges.
He is due to meet British business representatives and will host a film screening of 'The Killing Fields' at Meta House.
