An FM radio station broadcast at a frequency of 94MHz whose construction
was implemented by The Voice of Vietnam (VOV) was inaugurated in
Cambodia’s northwestern province of Banteay Meanchey on November
29.
At the ceremony, Cambodian Minister of
Information Khieu Kanharidth thanked the Vietnamese Government for
funding the construction of 12 radio stations across his country since
2008, helping Cambodia expand radio coverage to all corners of the
country, especially in rural areas.
The new station
will facilitate people’s access to information from the National Radio
Station and also serve as a bridge linking residents and authorities in
dealing with local socio-economic issues, he added.
Over the past years, The Voice of Vietnam has also assisted Cambodia
in operating radio facilities and producing programmes.
An additional four Vietnamese-funded radio stations are expected to be
operational in Phnom Penh and other localities in the time to
come.-VNA
