In his speech, Hun Sen thanked the Chinese government and people for their strong assistance to Cambodia's infrastructure construction and for their important contributions to Cambodia's economic and social development and improvement of people's livelihood. He said that National Highway No. 51 is another important achievement of China-Cambodia friendly cooperation. After its completion, it has effectively relieved the traffic pressure on Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia and its west side, and has become an important access road connecting Kampot, Takao and Kampong Speu in the south and Pursat and Battambang in the northwest, which has facilitated the inter-provincial transportation from north to south, and will effectively drive the economic development of cities and towns along the route.
