Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the 60-metre wide Techo Hun Sen Blvd on Monday, Mr Hun Sen suggested passenger planes and military aircraft could land on the road if necessary. The development covers 2,572 hectares reclaimed from the Boeung Tompun wetlands three to four kilometres south of Phnom Penh. These would not be fighter jets, but transport aircraft,” Mr Hun Sen said. Officials at the opening of Techo Hun Sen Boulevard on Monday.
