Cleveland and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, will formalize a sister city accord as Mayor Tom Rowland and city leaders welcome His Excellency Governor Kep Chuk Tema and a delegation from the Southeast Asian nation at a civic dinner tonight.
“We look forward to spending a few days with the governor and his entourage, introducing them to our city’s governmental and business leaders, and familiarizing them with our community,” Rowland said.
A delegation from Cleveland will pay a return visit to Cambodia at a later date.
The 13-member Cambodian group arrived Sunday and was met in Atlanta by state Rep. Kevin Brooks, Dr. Fred Garmon, director of People for Care and Learning, a Cleveland-based nonprofit organization presently engaged in a major construction and poverty-reduction effort in the Phnom Penh area, and others.
