Cambodia, Russia continue discussing nuclear energy plans
A November pact with Russia that first raised the possibility of nuclear energy in Cambodia is still being quietly pursued. Next week will see the second meeting of a Ministry of Interior working group dedicated to coordinating cooperation with the Vladimir Putin-led government in the realm of nuclear applications, ministry officials said on August 11. On May 17, Cambodian officials officially signed off on eight agreements with their Russian counterparts during an ASEAN-Russia summit, including two memoranda related to nuclear energy.
