Hun Sen rejects sending his troops to Iraq, Afghanistan

PHNOM PENH, Jan. 27, 2010 (Xinhua News Agency) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has rejected to send his troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, saying human lives are lost almost every day in those two countries.
Hun Sen's rejection was made on Wednesday as a response to the information that his country was asked to send, if possible, 1,000 of its troops as land deminers to Afghanistan.
In reply, Hun Sen said "We will not send any Cambodian armed forces even in the form of the United Nations Mission to Iraq and Afghanistan."
