In response to a request from First Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh, the

Royal Cambodia Group donated U.S. $30,000 to the government to construct trash bins

for use in Phnom Penh.

up the capital city. With construction costs for the bins estimated at $30 each,

the Royal Group's donation will enable an additional 1,000 trash receptacles to be

placed around town.

Veng Sereyvuth and Sok An, and Minister of Commerce Var Huot.
