Prime Minister Hun Sen said he regards Japan as a model for his country with respect to strengthening democracy and national development.
In an exclusive interview with Kyodo News on Friday, Hun Sen said, "Japan is a model of democracy that we should learn from and the only suitable country that we could learn from."
The prime minister made the disclosure when asked how Cambodia will move forward on the path of democracy after his ruling party's victory in the much-criticized general election in July.
