China signed an agreement with Cambodia in Phnom Penh on Monday to send four youth volunteers to the kingdom to help improve the government's computer and agricultural technology services.

 

Chinese Ambassador Zhang Jinfeng and President of Youth Association of Cambodia Men Kuon signed the agreement on behalf of both sides.

 

Under the agreement, the Chinese youth volunteers will provide services of computer and agricultural technology in public institutions designated by the Cambodian side, and their service period is principally one year from the arrival date.

 

The agreement aims to enhance the mutual understanding and friendship between the youths of China and Cambodia and promote the friendship and exchange in all fields between the two sides.

 

Human resource exchange is among the pivotal cooperation fields between China and Cambodia. From 1993 to 2006, China sent 35 specialists to Cambodia for technology guidance and training, while around 380 Cambodian government officials and economic and technologic talents accepted training in China.
