North Korea, Cambodia eye trade ties
Cambodia is keen on increasing trade ties with North Korea ahead of the visit this week of Kim Jong-Il to the Southeast Asian nation.
Press outlets reported Friday that the North Korean prime minister was looking to cement a trade deal that allows the isolated nation to use Cambodia as a conduit for North Korean goods in an effort to boost the economies of both impoverished countries.
Cambodia has often been used by North Korea as a political liaison to South Korea.
