Donor Support – 1991

After the signing of the peace agreement, large amounts of aid were predicted to come into the country, but details of this aid were still unknown.¹

At a news conference on the 16th of December, Senator Evans from Australia announced that the Australian government had decided to grant Vietnam and Cambodia 4.4m Australian dollars as supplementary aid for development projects. Of the sum, 2m dollars would go to Vietnam.² Japan was also considering drawing up a plan to extend its financial aid, including official development assistance to Cambodia.³ Japan also planned to host a Tokyo conference to discuss the reconstruction of Cambodia.
