Xinhua, November 22, 2015 Adjust font size:

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev arrived in Cambodia on Sunday for a three-day visit, the state-run Agence Kampuchea Press (AKP) reported.

Medvedev was greeted at the Siem Reap International Airport in northwest Cambodia's Siem Reap province by Cambodian Minister of Industry and Handicraft Cham Prasidh and other senior government officials, the AKP said.

According to the schedule, Medvedev will visit the famed Angkor Wat Temple in Siem Reap province on Monday before flying to the capital of Phnom Penh, where he will hold official talks with Cambodian Prime Minister 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 Foreign Ministry.

The documents will include a cooperation agreement between the ruling Cambodian People's Party and the ruling United Russia party, 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.

Cambodian National Police chief Gen. Neth Savoeun said on Friday that more than 10,000 security personnel would be deployed in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap province during Medvedev's visit. Enditem
