Minister of Defense Tea Banh on September 18 will leave for the US on a visit aimed at strengthening cooperation, especially between the two nation’s armies, a senior army official told DAP News Cambodia on Friday.The official visit of the Defense Minister is to push cooperation among all fields between Cambodia and America following a formal invitation from the US to Deputy Prime Minister Hor Namhong, who will leave for the US on September 22.
“Deputy Prime Minister Tea Banh is going to the US … to increase and strengthen relations and cooperation between the two nations,” said the senior army official.
“This official visit is to talk about the matters at Preah Vihear Temple Border, having a row with Thailand.”
The official visit comes after Mu Sochua, opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) lawmaker, criticized the Cambodian Government, claiming that the court system in Cambodia is unfair and controlled by the ruling CPP. She lost a defamation case against Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. Mu Sochua recently called on the US Government to suspend military aid to Cambodian unless a regulatory framework for mineral and petroleum concessions is established. This criticism was met with disappointment by senior Cambodian army officials.
