Foreign Minister Hor Namhong toasts Marty Natalegawa, his Indonesian counterpart, during a meeting on Wednesday at which the pair signed an agreement allowing for free, 30-day tourist visas between the two countries. Cambodia now has visa exemption agreements in place with six ASEAN countries, the others being Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam. Hor Namhong said Wednesday that the government was open to discussing exemptions with Thailand, Myanmar and Brunei, as well as with other Asian countries. “I have a plan to discuss these exemptions with other countries like Japan and South Korea, as the tourism market from these countries is booming right now,” he said.
