Qian Zhimin, president of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), visited Cambodia at the end of August, aiming to expand the market for nuclear products in countries from Europe to Southeast Asia.
Qian met Say Chhum, president of the Senate of Cambodia, and introduced CNNC’s charity work in Cambodia, including the company’s assistance in helping drill wells for water. Qian hopes to undertake further engineering work once the first stage is complete.
Qian pointed out that CNNC will support Cambodia to apply nuclear technologies in the sectors of industry, agriculture and medical science, thus developing its economy and improving people’s welfare. Cambodia can start by training workers, promoting new energy exploitation and infrastructure construction, and increasing its capabilities in scientific research and industrial manufacturing, achieving its long-term goal of the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy, Qian suggested.
