The PM went there on a three-day official visit at the invitation of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Sheikh Hasina will hold official talks with her Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen on Monday (December 04). Before the talks, the two premiers will have a tete-a-tete.
Later, 11 instruments- two agreements and nine memorandums of understanding (MoUs)- will be signed between Bangladesh and Cambodia in presence of the two prime ministers.
The naming of two important roads in Dhaka and Phnom Penh after the Father of the Nation of both the countries will be announced at the function.
Sources said that it has been decided to name `Baridhara Park Road’ in Dhaka’s diplomatic zone after Cambodia’s late King Norodom Sihanouk and a road in Phnom Penh after Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
After the function, Sheikh Hasina and Hun Sen will deliver a joint press statement.
Sheikh Hasina will join a business dialogue as the chief guest to be arranged by the Cambodian Chamber and attend the official dinner to be hosted by the Cambodian premier.
