Staff Comments
This project is also known as the Rehabilitation Project of the National Road No. 7 (NR 7) from Kratie to Trapeang Kriel (including Cambodia-China Friendship Bridge in Sekong). The Chinese project title is 援柬埔寨7号国道项目 or 援柬埔寨7号公路 or 桔井至德罗宾克瑞尔7号国道.The Government of Cambodia’s aid and debt information management system, which is maintained on behalf of all ministries and agencies of the Royal Government of Cambodia by the Cambodian Rehabilitation and Development Board (CRDB) of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), identifies the interest rate of the loan that supported this project as 2%. However, this appears to be a typographical error.
