“Many people in Cambodia want to go to India and that is why we are discussing direct flight between our countries.

He further added that there was already an agreement with Thailand and Vietnam in which those who have the visas for the two countries could also travel to Cambodia and vice versa.
“There is a lot of tradition in India, a lot of our roots are in India,” the Cambodian minister said.
