Cambodia urges Indonesia to resume direct flights
Cambodia has urged Indonesia to resume direct flight connection with Cambodia to facilitate mutual vaccination tourism movement in the near future.
Sok Sangvar, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Tourism who represented Tourism Minister at a Famtrip themed “Exploring the Land of Sunda” at the Embassy of Indonesia to Phnom Penh last weekend, expressed this to Indonesian Ambassador Sudirman Haseng.
In June 2019, Citlink, a subsidiary mounted three times a week flights between Jakarta and Phnom Penh but the flights were halted in April 2020 due to COVID-19 and poor load factors.
Speaking on the opening ceremony of Famtrip, Ambassador Sudirman spoke highly of Cambodia’s effort in fighting against COVID-19, especially in building the community immunity.
He also thanked the Government of Cambodia for vaccinating against COVID-19 to Indonesian people in Cambodia.
The Famtrip was organised to promote the good collaboration between the two nations in diplomacy, trade, tourism and beyond. Lim Nary – AKP
