PHNOM PENH — A senior US diplomat on Sunday defended relations with allegedly abusive Cambodian military units as he concluded a two-day visit to the capital Phnom Penh.
William Burns, US Under-Secretary of State for political affairs, said military aid from the United States to Cambodia was intended to boost a civil-military relationship that was essential to a "healthy political system".
"Any military relationship that we conduct around the world is consistent with US law. So we look very carefully and vet very carefully the participants from Cambodia, from other countries," Burns told a press conference.
