谢谢主席先生!

女士们、先生们，

各位尊贵的领导们，来自教育部的官员，来自云南省教育厅的官员，

各位代表们、朋友们，

大家下午好!

我今天非常荣幸，也非常高兴地参加“东亚峰会高等教育合作论坛”，这次论坛在云南省昆明市举办，是由中华人民共和国教育部和云南省人民政府共同主办的一次论坛。我来自柬埔寨的教育部，在此谨代表柬埔寨王国，向大家表示衷心的感谢!特别要感谢中国教育部和云南省人民政府的盛情款待和支持!同时，我还要特别感谢云南省教育厅和云南大学共同承办与筹备了本次论坛的活动，在你们的精心准备之下，本次论坛一定会取得圆满的成功和丰硕的成果!

这次论坛也给我们东亚各成员国高等教育的部门工作人员带来了一个分享经验、进行对话、探索未来教育发展道路的一次良好的机会。这无疑是一次令人高兴的、值得的聚会。它表明我们这个区域在加速发展，所以我们要进一步地培养有竞争力的人才，以加快本地区经济、社会的发展。

在这个区域中，我们柬埔寨国家政府已经意识到，进行教育交流的活动是至关重要的，所以建立这样一个重要的经验分享和学习的机制，对柬埔寨来说是非常重要的。在柬埔寨，我们需要更快的发展，使我们的教育更加地现代化。大家可能都知道，我们柬埔寨刚刚摆脱战乱。我们在过去深受灾难的创伤的影响，而且使我们的人力资源数量急剧缩减。在经历过灾难以后，我们致力于增强本国人力资源，以加促灾后的重建，更快地融入区域和全球的国际社会。

柬埔寨皇家政府现在在(洪森)首相的坚强领导下，我们柬埔寨终于在1998年起获得了长久的和平。在1998年至2009年这段时间内我们国家的发展取得了重大成就，我们柬埔寨的人民现在生活在一个和平、稳定、统一的国家中。柬埔寨人民有充分的权利、自由和民主。在这里，我想强调一下，柬埔寨皇家政府非常重视教育的发展。所以，柬埔寨皇家政府，现在已经把人力资源的发展作为国家发展战略的重点。

另外，我们柬埔寨有一个国家战略发展规划，其中一个是“矩形战略”，教育是其中一个重要的环节。在国家的战略指导下，青年部、运动部与教育部已经制定了一个“五年计划”。我们要实施教育改革，目标是确保所有的柬埔寨人民，不论他们的性别如何、他们在什么地方生活，他们的父母的状况如何，都能够平等享有高等教育权利。这些都是进行高等教育中非常关键的因素，只有不局限这些，我们才能建立起一个知识型社会，以便柬埔寨能够适应全世界发展的要求。

尊敬的各位阁下，女士们、先生们，教育的质量对于教育部来说至关重要，因为我们是生活在一个知识和信息机制的世界，这就要求我们有技能、技巧、创新和创造力。到目前为止，我们的教育部门在提高教育的数量和质量方面取得了很大的进展，我们得到了政府和国家机构的大力支持和合作。自从1999年柬埔寨成为东盟的正式成员国以来，我们积极地参与了该地区的高等教育的合作。

同时，柬埔寨是一个发展中国家，它通过参与区域教育合作改进了自身的教育体制，另外享受到区域内其他国家提供的大量奖学金来培养人才，从而收益很多。在这方面，我们要非常感谢区域内为我国提供了奖学金让我国学生赴外留学的国家，这些奖学金使我们柬埔寨得到教育方面的重大发展，而且使有关的人力资源建设进步很快。

柬埔寨认为在高等教育方面同东盟、东亚各国的合作是一个提升高等教育的重要方法。区域内的教育合作是提升整个区域竞争力和发展能力的重要手段。所以，今天举办这个论坛很有意义，也很及时。我们需要通过教育合作来推进区域意识、区域竞争力以及区域的整体发展。

借此机会，我希望能和各位分享一下我们接下来如何采取措施，提高这个区域的发展力量和竞争力。

首先，在区域内存在着一定的差异性，我们认为应该通过学术交流、研究合作以及奖学金项目来缩小区域内的差距。

其次，应该建立区域内学分转换、学历互认机制以提高区域整体的教育质量，真正建立起区域内教育合作机制，以实现区域内的教育经验分享。

再次，我们要定期举行交流会、研讨会、研修班，以分享大家的创新。这个涉及教育的各个层面，因为在教育的各个层面，我们都有很多合作的机会。

最后，我相信这样的交流，肯定是能够促进我们在合作和竞争力方面得到健康、平衡的发展，这样的交流同时也能够使得我们注重交流与合作，这样的合作是能够使大多数人受益的。我坚信本次论坛一定能够增进我们在当地地区和其他地区的深厚的友谊和加强联系。这样的联系能够进一步地提升我们这个区域的高等教育发展、人才培养质量和经济发展。

谢谢各位!

“At the East Asia Summit Higher Education Cooperation Forum:Cooperation and Development of Higher Education within EAS Framework”

Kunming，Yunnan Province，P.R.China，13-15 October 2010

Excellencies，

Distinguished Delegates，

Ladies and Gentlemen，

I amgreatly delighted and honored to attend the East Asia Summit Higher Education Cooperation Forum held here in Kunming，Yunnan Province，the People's Republic of China，which is jointly hosted by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and the People's Government of Yunnan Province.On behalf of the Ministry of Education，Youth and Sportof the Kingdomof Cambodia，I would like to expressmy sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and the People'sGovernment of Yunnan Province for their kind support and warmhospitality extended to the Cambodian delegation.I would also like to expressmy deepest thanks to Yunnan Provincial Department of Education and Yunnan University for jointly organizing this important Forum.Their excellent arrangements for this Forum have significantly contributed to the productivity of this important event.

This Forumindeed provides all of us fromhigher education sub-sector in East Asia a great opportunity to share and exchange dialogues and experiencesto explore development options for education sector，particularly higher education.I think this is a truly proud and memorable gathering，showing that our region is on the accelerated path of building competent and talented human resources to accelerate the pace of socio-economic development.

In this connection，the Royal Government of Cambodia recognizes that regional and global activities in education development are an important mechanismfor sharing experiences and learning lessons abouteducation reform，especially higher education.This is particularly critical for Cambodia as we try to move quickly to restore，develop and modernize our education system.

As you might already knowCambodia is a post conflict nation，having experienced great tragedy that has led to a reduced human capacity.After great hardships，the Royal Government of Cambodia is dedicated to developing its human resources in order to reconstruct the country and integrate with the regional and global community of nations.With the selfless commitmentand great wisdomof Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen，Prime Minister of the Kingdomof Cambodia，the hard-found peace in Cambodia was finally secured in late 1998 and the impact of the subsequent capacity development between the years 2000-2009 has been very significant.Cambodian people currently are living in peace，stability and national unity，enjoying full rights，freedomand democracy.

In this sense，I would like to stress that the Royal Government of Cambodia has given great importance to the education and skills development sector to accommodate Cambodia into the regional and global labour market.As a result，the Royal Government has identified human resource development as one of its priorities and as an important agenda in the Rectangular Strategy and in the National Strategic Development Plan.

Guided by the mentioned national strategies，the Ministry of Education，Youth and Sport has formulated a five year plan，the Education Strategic Planto enable the implementation of education reform.Our aimis to ensure that all Cambodian citizens have equal access to quality education regardless of their gender，where they live，or the wealth or poverty of their parents.That is the key to building a knowledge-based society that will ensure Cambodia's competitiveness in integrating herself into the region and the world.

Excellencies，Distinguished Delegates，Ladies and gentlemen，Quality of Education is one of the major concerns for our Ministry as we live in a world of knowledge and information technology which includes skills，know-how，innovation and creativity of human resources.Up to now，the education sector has proudly developed in terms of both quantity and quality with the support and assistance fromthe Royal Government and national and international communities and donors.

Since Cambodia became a fullmember of the Association ofSoutheast Asian Nations in 1999，it has actively participated in regional cooperation on higher education especially in the SEAMEOand AUN contexts.At the same time，Cambodia，as a less developed country，also benefits fromregional cooperation in developing its education systemas well as building its human capital through scholarship programs and other important contributions fromthe countries in the region.In this connection，I highly appreciate the collaboration between the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Governments of the EAS countries that have led to these important educational developments in Cambodia，particularly the support to human resource development through the provision of scholarships to Cambodian students for further study in their countries.

In this regard，Cambodia considers cooperation on higher education within EAS countries as a crucialmeans of cultivating awareness of one another's developments.That is a significant means of promoting regional competitiveness and development.So，the Forumtoday is a symbolic and timely starting point to this cooperation with many important steps to be followed before its process iscompletely fulfilled.On this occasion，I would like share with all of you what we should do to further promote and strengthen regional awareness，competitiveness and development.

* Disparity within the region should be reduced through academic exchange and cooperation，research collaboration，and scholarship programs.

* Higher education quality within the region should be enhanced through creating harmonization of quality assurance and credit transfer systems，and qual ification frameworks.That way we can draw on and benefit fromeach other's experiences.

* Seminar，workshop or training should be regularly organized to share best practices and other initiatives on contemporary educational issues.This is important in all levels of education，butwe see major opportunities at the higher education level in terms of research and development.

Lastly，I believe such exchangeswill ensure a healthy balance between cooperation and competitiveness.Such exchanges will also provide a focus on cooperation that benefits the majority rather than a few.I amconfident that the EAS Higher Education Cooperation Forumhas further strengthened the friendships，academic linkages and networking locally and regionally.Those connections will lead directly to an improving quality of higher education in the region，and promote further regional economic development as well as talent and skills cultivation.

Thank you.
