PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- A group of Japanese experts arrived in Cambodia Tuesday for a two-day visit as a follow-up team regarding the needs survey implemented last May for electoral reform assistance to Cambodia.
The team was led by Mr. Tadayuki MIYASHITA, Director, Country Assistance Planning Division I, International Cooperation Bureau, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, and included 4 members from JICA.
During the stay in Cambodia, the team will make a presentation on the findings of the survey in May to the members of CPP, CNRP's joint working groups and also have discussions on future possible cooperation in electoral reform in Cambodia with various stakeholders including election related authorities, foreign development partners and civil society, according to a press release issued Monday by the Embassy of Japan.
The last study team mentioned above was dispatched from 19 to 23 May 2014, following the announcement by Shinzo ABE, Prime Minister of Japan, on the occasion of the Japan-Cambodia Summit Meeting held in Tokyo in December last year, in response to the prior request for Japan’s assistance to electoral reforms by Prime Minister Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, in November 2013, said the statement.
The experts will meet with Kem Sokha, first vice president of the National Assembly and acting president of CNRP, Wednesday, and also CPP's officials.
