Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday accused opposition leader Sam Rainsy of betraying the country by publishing a “false map” on his party’s Web site.
The Sam Rainsy Party has put a “French-era” map from 1952 on its Web site, which it claims marks the proper border between Cambodia and Vietnam. The map reflects the borders that are filed with the UN but are not the reality on the ground, according to the party.
However, Hun Sen said on Wednesday the map was false.
“The government must take legal action against the fake map, because it is a fake public document,” Hun Sen told a gathering of graduates at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. “When we are defending against an invasion from the west and you set up a fake map of the east, I accuse you of betrayal.”
