Phnom Penh (FN), Oct. 26 – On Thursday (Oct. 26), Cambodian foreign minister Sok Chenda Sophea signed the Exchange of Notes and Accompanying Documents with Japanese ambassador to Cambodia Ueno Atsushi concerning the provision of Japan’s grant aid at the amount of approximately USD 9.7 million for the implementation of the project for the Establishment of Nationwide Continuously Operating Reference Station Network.

This project is aimed at accelerating cadastral surveying and strengthening administrative services related to land registration through installation of continuously operating reference station, thereby contributing to promotion of infrastructure projects.

Japan’s ODA covers a wide range of cooperation including infrastructure development, health, education, water supply and demining, among many others. This reflects Japan’s vital role in contributing to socio-economic development of Cambodia.
