Cambodia to tighten security during Russian PM's visit

Xinhua, November 21, 2015 Adjust font size:

Security will be tightened in Cambodia during the visit of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev from Nov. 22 to 24, the National Police's website reported on Saturday.

"More than 10,000 security personnel will be deployed at key places in Phnom Penh capital and Siem Reap province during Medvedev's visit," the website quoted National Police chief Gen. Neth Savoeun as saying in a meeting on Friday.

According to the schedule, Medvedev will arrive in Siem Reap province on Sunday evening for a visit to the famed Angkor Wat Temple before flying to Phnom Penh capital, where he will hold official talks with his Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen on Tuesday.

After the talks, the two prime ministers will witness a signing ceremony of six cooperation documents between the two countries, according to a statement from the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The documents will include a cooperation agreement between the ruling Cambodian People's Party and the ruling All-Russian Political Party "United Russia", a deal in information exchange on money laundering and terrorism financing, two deals relevant to investment cooperation, and two memorandums of understanding between Cambodian news agency and national radio and Russian news agency.

The visit will mark Russia's highest-level visit to Cambodia after Nikolay Nikiforov, its minister of communications and mass media, visited in July. Enditem
