JOPCA members that have deeply been involved in technical cooperation in the field of port&harbor in Cambodia made site visits to Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville for further exchanges with their counterparts and JICA participants, besides for establishment of an alumni association among participants having completed JICA training courses as well as holding a seminar. Through these opportunities of exchange, not only transmission of the latest information of technologies but deepening friendship among those present has been realized.
