Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday expressed hope for the development of Cambodia through a democratic process amid criticism from the international community over the Southeast Asian nation's latest election results.
Speaking to reporters with his Cambodian counterpart, Hun Sen, after their meeting in Tokyo, Abe said, "Japan expects Cambodia to develop further through the solidarity of the people and the promotion of its democratic process."
To that end, Abe said Japan will invite young politicians from various parties and senior officials of the national election board so that they can learn about Japanese election systems.
