Cambodian Cable TV station signed in Phnom Penh on Sunday an
agreement with China's Guangxi TV station for the former to spare a
channel to broadcast the Chinese TV station's daily programs to
audience in Phnom Penh.
The agreement was signed by the Cambodian TV station's Chairman
Lai Ruide and Fan Huimin, vice president of the Guangxi TV station
in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Addressing the ceremony, Cambodian Information Minister and
government spokesman Kiheu Kanharith said that the cooperation will
help promote the friendship and exchange between the two
countries.
Lai Ruide said that the cooperation will lay new foundation for
the cultural and economic exchange between the two countries and

between China and the ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asia
Nations) countries.
For his part, Fan Huimin said that the cooperation will
contribute to the communication and mutual understanding between
the peoples of the two countries.
According to statistics, the Guangxi TV station now has 500
million viewers and the Cambodian TV station boasts the country's
largest cable TV network.
