Cambodia, Liechtenstein for High Quality WorkforceSeo Min-kyu wins gold at ISU junior world figure skating championships

Cambodia and the Principality of Liechtenstein in the European Union (EU) have agreed to continue to cooperate on vocational training for a high-quality and productive Cambodian workforce.

H.E. Heng Sour, Minister of Labour and Vocational Training, and Mrs. Dominique Hasler, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Education, and Sports of Liechtenstein, discussed the cooperation on Feb. 29 at the ministry in Phnom Penh.

H.E. Heng Sour thanked the visiting delegation of Liechtenstein for their support, which was very well in line with the government’s commitment, which will contribute to further attracting investment to Cambodia.

Attracting investment to Cambodia is very competitive regionally, added the minister, therefore, Cambodia needs to ensure high quality of its labour force to meet the market’s need.

Teen figure skater Seo Min-kyu claimed the men’s title at the 2024 International Skating Union Junior World Figure Skating Championships on Saturday, becoming the first male Korean athlete to win the title.

The 15-year-old earned a total score of 150.17 points (a technical score of 73.45 points and an artistic score of 76.72 points) at the event held at the Taipei Arena in Taiwan, beating Japan’s Nakata Rio by 1.44 points.

Regardless of gender, it has been 18 years since a Korean skater last claimed victory at this competition after Kim Yu-na in 2006. Prior to Seo’s victory, the highest achievement was set by Cha Jun-hwan in 2017, who finished fifth.
