Kingdom to welcome 550 Oz interns

[geovalin]

The Australian Embassy said on Tuesday that nearly 550 Australian university students will arrive in Cambodia next year to study and undertake internships in the country through the support of the Australian government’s signature initiative, the New Colombo Plan.

 

In a Facebook post, the embassy said: “New Colombo Plan students will work with Cambodian counterparts to share and broaden their knowledge and skills in a diverse range of fields, including engineering, water and sanitation, health, teaching and law.”

 

Charge d’affaires Luke Arnold said in a press release that the students will come from 14 universities across Australia and hope to learn more about the Cambodian people and their culture.
