Brunei-Cambodia flights soon

PHNOM PENH (AP): Regular commercial flights will begin soon between Brunei and Cambodia under an agreement reached during Prime Minister Hun Sen's visit to Brunei.

Cabinet Minister Sok An made the announcement at Pochentong airport Monday when Hun Sen returned from a six-day visit to Brunei and the Philippines.

Sok An told reporters that the details of the flights have to be worked out. He didn't say if the national airlines of both countries will fly to the two capitals, Phnom Penh and Bandar Seri Begawan.

There are direct flights between Phnom Penh and the capitals of all countries in the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations except Brunei, the Philippines and Burma.

In Brunei, Hun Sen and his delegation also visited oil and gas industry facilities. The delegation asked Brunei to provide training for Cambodian officials working in the industry. Cambodia hopes to exploit potential natural gas and oil reserves off its sea coast.
