Combating poverty, deprivation and exclusion is not a matter of charity, and it does not depend on how rich a country is. By tackling poverty as a matter of human rights obligation, the world will have a better chance of abolishing this scourge in our lifetime….Poverty eradication is an achievable goal."

South Korean trade surges

Growing trade in textiles and automobiles has contributed to a 45 percent surge in bilateral trade between Cambodia and South Korea in the first ten months of this year, over the same period of last year.
Data from Korean Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, received by The Post late last week, showed trade had increased to around US$38.311 million from January to October this year, from around $26.431 million in 2009.
Korean exports to Cambodia rose 41.2 percent to $34.776 million, from around $24.467 million.
Meanwhile, Korean imports from the Kingdom increased by 80 percent to $3.335 million from $1.964 million, according to the statistics.
“Textile, rubber and cars are the main products [accounting for the growth],” said Nam-Shik Kang, president of Korean Chamber of Commerce, late last week.
He also pointed to a close relationship between the two nations, which he said had contributed to a positive business environment.
“We are seeing good cooperation between two countries, both politically and in business terms, and hope to keep [it] going for more 10 years,” he said. Korea’s main exports to the Kingdom were yarn and fabrics, which were up 36.4 percent, road vehicles, which increased by 289 percent, and machinery, which rose around 93 percent.
Cambodia’s main products were garments, up 82 percent, metal products, which increased by 96 percent, and crude rubber, which was up a huge 3,022 percent.
Nam-Shik Kang hoped that Cambodian exports to Korea would increase by about 150 percent over the next year, while the Korean export would rise by 20 percent
“Next year there will be growth more in both exports and imports because many of Korean investors are turning to Cambodia from China and Vietnam,” he added.
Sok Sopheak, director general of Cambodia’s Foreign Trade Department, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Earlier this year, data showed that the number of working migrants travelling to South Korea was also on the increase.
Heng Sour, who is chief of the Labour Ministry’s overseas manpower unit, said that between January and mid-August, the government sent 897 workers to South Korea, up from 780 in the same period of 2009, as its economy improved. -

PHNOM PENH, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) — A famous Chinese action movie star Jet Li (Chinese name: Li Lianjie), and American movie actress Angelina Jolie are expected to be included in a new movie to be produced in Cambodia.
In a press conference held on Wednesday in Phnom Penh, Thomas Magyar, a project manager for the planned movie, and Tony Schiena, a project coordinator and a Hollywood star said the film they had planned to produce will be named as “Great Khmer Empire.”
They said the film might cost approximately 70 million U.S. dollars and it will need about three years to make it, saying the large time span will be caused by the consultations with Cambodian government and historians on accuracy of the history as well as the script writing.
Both Tony Schiena and Thomas Magyar said, to date, they are looking at several famous movies stars such as Jet Li, Chinese action star, Angelina Jolie, an American movie actress, John Cena, world’s famous wrester and South Korean movie actress Song Hye Kyo among others.
The movie will focus on history of Cambodia, especially, during the glorious period in 11th and 12th century under the King Jayavarman the VII, who until today, considered as the great King of Cambodia and who finished up the building of Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia.
Angelina Jolie adopted a Cambodian son and was granted a Cambodian citizenship.
She was also a star in the famous movie titled “Tomb Raider” which some parts of the episodes were also shot in Siem Reap province where many temples including Angkor Wat Temple are located in.
