It should be noted that due to the poor condition of the road and the narrow width, it is difficult to travel. And upon receiving the request of the authorities and the local people, HE the Minister invited to inspect the road to facilitate the travel and transportation of agricultural products of the people living in the area. After inspecting the road, HE the Minister directed the Department of Rural Roads and the Provincial Rural Development Department to include the above road in the annual plan of the Ministry of Rural Development for the following year.
Taking the opportunity to inspect the road condition, HE the Minister and his delegation visited Meanchey Bitamin, a road asphalt supplier located in Kraing Ponlai, Kiri Van commune, Phnom Sruoch district, Kampong Speu province. Currently, Meanchey Bitamin has two modern factories with a capacity of more than 1,500 tons of rubber and a road asphalt production line with a capacity of 30-35 tons per hour. The purpose of this visit is to learn about the quality of asphalt production by the private sector in order to strengthen the quality of rural road infrastructure in Cambodia to be more durable and usable for the people.
