In order to recover the lost splendor of Phnom Penh, the government brings its support to the mammoth South-Korean “city” project located north of Phnom Penh. Vice-prime minister Sok An made this declaration yesterday during the groundbreaking inauguration of theCamko City construction site.
The groundbreaking for the construction site of the ultra-modern South-Korean city project, christened Camko City, located north of Phnom Penh, took place yesterday. $2 billion will be invested to build, from now until 2018, villas, skyscrapers, hospital, one university and several shopping centers. Sok An declared: “In the 60s, Phnom Penh was beautiful like a jade. But, after the war, it is impossible to compare Phnom Penh with other cities in the region. That is why, today, the government encourages the Camko City project which will embellish the city anew.” “I would like to live here, but I don’t know if I would have enough money,” Kep Ravy, a hardware store manager commented during the inauguration. An optimistic official from the Ministry of Economy believes thatCamko City will be accessible to one third of the population of the capital, because most of them own lands in the provinces which they can sell to buy an apartment here.
What kind of name is Camko City?
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI'm so interested in this project. I would like to have a spot there. This project would alter Cambodia to something new, and probably make the country economy improve gradually. But first I would like to know whatever Cambodian economists think about this project? Will this project bring what the nation need the most? and will this project keep the country economy increasing in the long run? Well, I hope you would provide this information. Or at least question yourself.
I'm looking forward to seeing your answer.
