Quote on Japanese extending scholarship grants for government officials
Cambodian Institute for Democracy president Pa Chanroeun said Japan’s provision of aid to Cambodia was helping the Cambodian people develop knowledge and skills to keep building the country over the long term.“Students or officials on scholarships will become a valuable resource for the development of Cambodia in the future. This aid can also bond the two countries and tighten diplomatic ties and it is a means to create people to people relationships,” he said. He added that although currently, Cambodia had a lot of educational establishments and a large number of university graduates, it is still experiencing a shortage of technical expertise in human resources as the nation develops. Chanroeun said that the government should offer good jobs to those who graduate with this sort of expert knowledge and that Cambodia should place more value on Khmer intellectuals or students who graduated with advanced degrees from abroad.
