Nguon Nhel also told the high ranking Lao delegation that the Cambodian government has changed its triangular policy to a rectangular one, and in this new policy, the core issues are transparency and good governance in the economic development.

3-star general Duong Chai Phi Chit, the Lao minister, said that on safety issue along the common border between the two countries, the situation is good and no problem ever occurred there. The general said that the two countries will continue to strengthen and enlarge this good cooperation as neighboring countries and as longtime brothers.

In the future, the Lao president will come for an official visit in Cambodia, based on an invitation from the Cambodian king.

The border markers is just a game that is being played by Cambodia, vietnam, and laos. The markers are there so calm people down while the vietnamese is working to swallow Cambodia and laos. Once the vietnam is done with the vietnamization process those markers will be pulled out and all the land will become one vietnamese's state. This is why there is no border issues among the three states.

Nhoun Nhel? who is he??? He is just one of Hun Sen's kiss ass. Actually, they (CPP officials) know what is real but they think they can live to 100s years Meul Tov?

Like vulnerable abbot Tim Sakhorn, Hun Sen govn't defrocked and sent him to VN. It shows that Ah Hun govn't is already under VN controlled.
