PHNOM PENH: Prime Minister Hun Manet has instructed the relevant authorities to expedite studies into upgrades to the Phnom Penh to Preah Sihanouk railway line. He suggested that the maximum speed on the line should be increased to 80km/h, in order to expedite the transportation of goods and promote economic growth.

Manet met with more than 15,000 factory workers in the Cambodian Zhejiang Guoji Special Economic Zone in Prey Nop district, Preah Sihanouk province on Nov 7. The event marked his ninth such meeting after assuming the Kingdom’s top position in late August.
