RP, Cambodia to sign accords

MANILA (AFP): Prime Minister Hun Sen and President Joseph
Estrada are to sign a number of bilateral agreements on trade and
tourism when the Cambodian leader visits the Philippines later
this month, a presidential spokesman said Friday.

Press Undersecretary Mike Toledo said during Hun Sen's visit
from August 16 to 18, the two leaders would sign bilateral
agreements on "trade, investments, tourism" and "visa exemption"
for visits by their citizens to the other country.

They will also establish a joint commission on bilateral
cooperation, Toledo added.

Aside from meeting Estrada, Hun Sen will also visit the
International Rice Research Institute in the town of Los Banos
south of Manila, as well as the former US naval base of Subic
which the Philippines has converted into a free trade and light
industrial zone.
