Cambodia is preparing to retired 3,000 soldiers this year, in a bid to continue the reform of its security forces, a senior official said Thursday.
“There has been some preparation, and there is the possibility we will do it this year,” Defense Minister Tea Banh told VOA Khmer.
Cambodia hopes to eventually reduce its forces from 200,000 to 80,000.
About 100,000 soldiers are ready to retire, Tea Banh said, but the government lacks the budget to fund their retirement.
Rank, title and other details for the retirees have not been publicly released.
