The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an unexplained letter to embassies on Tuesday, reminding them not to interfere in the internal affairs of state.
The note was a sharp reprimand in diplomatic terms, but it was not addressed to any specific mission. It was issued to embassies throughout Phnom Penh.
“There have been many occasions, in which some heads of diplomatic missions behaved like a ‘Proconsul’ of his/her country to the Kingdom of Cambodia,” the ministry said in its note, without naming a specific country.
