Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said Friday the closure of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' center will be postponed to mid- February next year.
Hor Namhong made the announcement at a press briefing held at the Phnom Penh International Airport upon Prime Minister Hun Sen's return from visiting China. "We asked UNHCR to close the center in (Phnom Penh) by January 1, 2011, but they have asked us to postpone the closure as refugees are still awaiting resettlement in a third country. Therefore, Prime Minister Hun Sen agreed to postpone the closure to February 15, 2011."
