Cambodia PM wants ASEAN support for building sea cable Prime Minister Hun Manet has sought cooperation from ASEAN neighboring countries to construct a submarine electricity transmission from Laos to Singapore. The project requires network infrastructure across Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia. The leaders agreed to work together to address remaining issues requiring collaboration from each nation, including socio-economic aspects, security, people-to-people relations, and promoting culture and traditions. Hun Manet also met with Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim to discuss strengthening bilateral relations, sustainability, and mutual economic development. The submarine infrastructure aims to share green power among ASEAN member countries, as Laos has abundant natural power resources. The project is key to allowing "door to door" renewable energy export from Cambodia directly to Singapore, advancing the implementation of the recently signed 1GW export agreement between the two countries.
