Two Cambodian youths who won a trip to the US from a television contest in Cambodia are meeting with US government officials and lawmakers.
In the contest, youth exhibit leadership skills, confidence and knowledge of democracy, in a program broadcast on CTN that is gaining in popularity.
This is the third sponsored trip conducted with support from the International Republican Institute and the Youth Council of Cambodia.
Yon Sophal, 21, a-third-year student at the University of Law and Economic Science in Phnom Penh, was one of the winners, in 2008.
