“Although we are facing challenges due to Covid-19, the government of Japan will provide support to strengthen our capacity by offering scholarships and training to ministry officials,” he said.
Sar Kheng thanked Japan for helping to develop human resource and hoped that Japan will continue providing support.
“The support [in the past] include healthcare, finance and human resource development, which has contributed a lot to the decentralisation of power in Cambodia,” he said.
Sar Kheng said the government is currently preparing a ten-year plan to decentralise power, which is the important stage in delegating power and resources to sub-national administrations.
