Phnom Penh - A Cambodian government spokesman on Wednesday warned foreign embassies and institutions against criticising the authorities or interfering in internal affairs.
The comments came one day after the Ministry of Foreign Affairssent a blunt letter to embassies complaining that some mission heads had behaved like proconsuls in giving lessons to the government.
"Such behaviours are not acceptable for Cambodia as a sovereign country," the letter stated. "Cambodia is not a BANANA REPUBLIC."
