Clinton open to combined approach on Cambodian debt

Mon Nov 1, 2010

PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday she was open to exploring a combined approach on Cambodia's $445 million U.S. debt that might include some repayment.

"You could have some repayment, you could have debt for nature, you could have debt for education. There are things that the government of Cambodia could do that would satisfy the need to demonstrate some level of accountability but, more importantly, to invest those funds in the needs of the people of Cambodia," Clinton told Cambodian students.
