🌍 🤝 French Delegation in Cambodia! 🇫🇷 🇰🇭
We are thrilled to share highlights from our recent meeting in Cambodia with H.E. Thor Chetha, Minister of Water Resources and Meteorology and H.E. Chann Sinath, Secretary of State, Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology.
On June 26, Robert BOUSQUET President of STERELA and Patrick BENICHOU, President of Meteo France International (MFI), led a French delegation (Astrid Cousteau, Christophe Marquet, Jean-Sebastien Cases) to discuss crucial advancements in water resources management and meteorology.
H. E. Minister Thor Chetha emphasized the ministry’s pivotal role in promoting information management and safeguarding agricultural productivity, rural infrastructure, people and properties from natural disasters. He also underlined what a partnership with MFI and Sterela might bring to meet Minisrty's strategic goals.
He detailed the ambitious construction project of the National Water Resources Data Management Centre (NWRDMC), supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the European Investment Bank (EIB). This center aims to revolutionize Cambodia’s ability to collect, store, analyze, and disseminate vital meteorological and hydrological data.
The NWRDMC will empower Cambodia with greater autonomy in managing and forecasting water-related data, forming a cornerstone of the ministry’s strategy to modernize and climate-proof its water infrastructure.
We also hosted an engaging workshop animated by the Sterela METEO Team and #MFI, with enthusiastic participation from local experts and regional stakeholders, fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration aiming at supporting Cambodia’s efforts in enhancing water management and resilience against climate change.
We are grateful for the warm welcome we received from our Cambodian hosts. We appreciated the opportunity to share insight about Sterela-Meteo's advanced hydrometeorological observation solutions, including automatic weather stations and related processing systems, and Meteo France International's global approach for modernization projects of National Hydromet Services relying on high-end Data Management systems and a strong end-user orientation aiming at value creation for general public, weather-sensitive economic sectors and other relevant stakeholders.
Together, we look forward to contributing to Cambodia’s efforts in enhancing water management and resilience against climate change.
