PHNOM PENH: Cambodia will push forward with controversial plans to build a US$1.7 billion canal linking capital Phnom Penh to the sea, Prime Minister Hun Manet said on Thursday (April 11).

The Funan Techo canal is the latest Chinese-backed infrastructure project in Cambodia, which received billions in investments as one of Beijing's closest regional allies under former leader Hun Sen.
