Two Seminars Completed at HRC

   ---The 2006 seminar on power system planning & analysis and seminar on water resource planning & management with duration of 20 days were completed on 12th Dec at HRC. With the powerful support and deep concern by leaders at various levels, and with the joint efforts by the participants and HRC staff, the two seminars were implemented with full success.

   In the report to the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia and to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce by the team leader of the 2006 seminar on power system planning & analysis, it points out "This training course is very interesting and from this course, we could learn more experiences from HRC of electric power planning and analysis, not only in development of power demand forecast, optimization of the project, economic analysis, environmental impact assessment, and financial method for implementation of small hydropower projects and also from the observations of the small hydropower plant, pumped storage hydropower plant, dam simulation laboratory, turbine manufacturer, but also from other company on biomass power generation which are suitable for rural electrification in Cambodia."

   The monitor of 2006 seminar on water resource planning & management commented at the closing ceremony: "20 days passed very quickly, but we have got a huge wealth, because we observed much experience, advanced technology and methods from teachers and fields visits. All these are related to the field that we need to upgrade our officials."

   China pays great attention to the overseas training missions for the numerous developing countries. China's president Mr Hu declared recently 8 measures at the Beijing Summit of Sino-African Forum for promoting new Sino-African strategic partnership and cooperation in a wider scale and higher level, including training 15000 African personnel within 3 consecutive years.

   In spite of all the success of the two seminars, there still remains much for improvement. HRC will strive every possible way to achieve more for implementing international training programs.

   On the same day, a farewell party was held in HRC's multi-functional hall, filled with Chinese, Cambodian or English songs and folk dances.(2006-12-15)
