Thailand has proposed Cambodia initiate a bus service that links the two countries and Vietnam which will strengthen connectivity between the Asean countries.
The proposal was made during a meeting between Minister of Public Works and Transport Sun Chanthol and his Thai counterpart Arkhom Termpittayapaisith in Phnom Penh late last week.
According to the ministry, the proposal was for a luxury bus service to link Phnom Penh, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh cities.
“Minister Sun Chanthol gave the green light to the proposal and instructed ministry officials to work and discuss the project in detail,” said Va Simsorya, spokesman at the Transport Ministry.
“It is a good project that links people in three countries on one bus line,” said Mr Simsorya.
