Last Updated:
The leaders of South Korea and Cambodia have agreed to form a 'strategic and cooperative partnership' between their countries.
South Korean president Lee Myung-bak is in Cambodia for a two-day official visit to boost ties and develop economic relations.
President Lee received an audience with King Norodom Sihamoni before holding talks with the Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen.
The two countries also signed an extradition agreement and a deal for an initiative in which Cambodia would issue South Korean tourists multiple entry year-long visas.
Lee Myung-bak promised to help develop Cambodia's agricultural sector by providing new technology and training, and also said South Korea would provide $200 million in soft loans to Cambodia between 2009 and 2013.
