PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): Two streets in Phnom Penh are to be named after former Indonesian president Sukarno and foreign minister Ali Alatas to commemorate their contributions to modern Cambodia.

Sukarno visited Cambodia in the 1950s and 60s, not long after the kingdom gained independence from France, while Alatas co-chaired a conference on Cambodia in the French capital prior to the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements.
