A group of military attaches of 12 countries on Thursday paid a two-hour visit to Preah Vihear temple and surrounding areas to see the damages caused by mortar and artillery shelling during the deadly clashes early last month between the Cambodian and Thai troops.
The team of military attaches from 12 embassies in Phnom Penh included the United States, France, Russia, China, Japan, Canada, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, New Zealand, Malaysia and Australia.
Cambodian four-star general Neang Phat, secretary of state of the Ministry of Defense, led the group during the visit.
The group was welcomed at the temple by four-star general Chea Dara, deputy commander-in-chief of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces for Preah Vihear Direction, and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’ s eldest son Hun Manet, deputy commander of the Headquarters of Infantry.
“Cambodia wanted the military attaches to see with their own eyes the damages caused by Thai shelling in the recent war,” Chea Dara said during the delegation visit.
