The government will dispatch police experts to Cambodia by the end of the year to provide technical assistance to help the Southeast Asian country introduce "koban" police boxes, government sources said Sunday.
The mission will probably visit Cambodia in November or December as part of Japanese technical cooperation extended through the Japan International Cooperation Agency, a government-affiliated major aid organ, the sources said.
Technical cooperation is one type of official development assistance that is usually extended either by sending experts to developing countries or by accepting trainees from them. The two other types of ODA extended to developing countries are low-interest yen loans and grants-in-aid.
