Prime Minister Hun Sen has cautioned military officials against the use of force outside Cambodia, national media said on Tuesday.
"Troops can be deployed and defensive force used only within Cambodian territory. (I) do not allow (you) to fight outside your own territory," Chinese-language newspaper the Jian Hua Daily quoted him as telling a certificate-awarding ceremony for 22 officers here on Monday.
"The (Cambodian) military has not thought of sending troops outside the kingdom, so there would be no reason for another country to be concerned," he said.
The Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) should strengthen its training to become more powerful to safeguard Cambodia itself, he added.
The Military Institute of the People's Army of Vietnam on Monday issued certificates to Cambodian officers, including doctor degrees of military science for RCAF Commander-in-Chief Pol Saroeun and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Kun Kim.
Also on Monday, Hun Sen met with visiting Vietnamese Vice Minister of National Defense Nguyen Chi Vinh. Both sides vowed to strengthen their cooperation on human resource development in the military field.
In early April, two exchange of heavy gunfire occurred at the border area the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple between Thai and Cambodian troops.
Since July 2008, troops from both sides have stationed near the Preah Vihear temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and two armed confrontations last year sparked brief concerns of war.
The two neighboring countries have never fully demarcated their disputed 800-km-long border, mainly due to their different judgments of historical maps and the landmines left over from decades of civil war in Cambodia.

I am just too curious, what is up with Hun Sen's comment? Has he receiven intelligent imformation about an invasion by the Siamese? Is he trying to maintain the stance that the Siamese army is on Khmer Soil? And what is up with the Vietnamese Army training Khmer military Officials in recent news lately? I guess he wants Thailand to know that Vietnamese army is behind the Khmer army in all aspect, even in war.
i think he was saying "educating" soldiers to protect cambodia from foreign aggression or invasion. it's not hard to understand, hello!
Anonymous 10:52 AM, it's not hard to understand what Hun Sen is saying, but why is he saying it? And why, since he is so determined to defend Cambodia only, is he sending his commanders to another neighbour who has a histroy of invading and taking Cambodia, to give away all the defence secrets? For what purpose? To get a piece of paper? All in exchange for Cambodia? The invasion in 1979 was not quick enough, so Hun Sen wants to make it quicker next time by giving away all the military strategies now? Everytime I think about this Hun Sen, I wonder why Cambodians have continued to support him for so long. He is selling out the country from under their feet, and they let him!
Welcome your comments. I have known you are Khmer and I am Khmer and live in Cambodia; I love all Khmer. I always vote for Hun Sen, so don't insult me my friends. I vote for Hun Sen because I want to see Cambodia become one and I want to stop shit moving to shit--Kingdom to Democrate to Communist (Khmer Rou) to Communist (Hun Sen) to Kingdom (Hun Sen). Even though the country moved from one ideology to another but the result of it is shit. If we stay with it and develop from step by step, I feel it better. I has known that Cambodia is developing from day to day.The past is the lesson, I focus only the future.

I think you are not thinking open and wide enough,
- Did you know that Hun Sen is currently under Vietnam?
- Hun Sen has signed many secret paper to sell land to vietnam
- Hun Sen is a dictator, currupted and a traitor
- Hun Sen recently signed a contract to vietnam the land in Rattanak Kiri about 30 000 hectare of farm land to vietnam and left many khmer farmer landless
- and many more
Hun Sen here, Hun Sen there,
Hun Sen, Hun Sen everywhere.
Angry Hun Sen leading,
One-eyed Hun Sen not seeing,
Selfish Hun Sen land grabbing,
And notorious Hun Sen stealing.
Hun Sen loves power,
Hun Sen loves violence,
Hun Sen loves YOUNS,
Hun Sen is a dictator.
Hun Sen here, Hun Sen there,
Hun Sen, Hun Sen everywhere!
Hun Sen! Hun Sen! Hun Sen!
Yes, there is only Me, Hun Sen!
The Old Schoolar said "the way we see the world, determines our behaveior in that world and it is very danerous when people think that they are perfect or completely right." I just cite from a book. So I think that you and me have different perspect because our education, social and family influence are far different. The difference is the law of universal. I think that we are righ. No one is wrong. All I want is Khmer must help Khmer eventhough they have different ideologies. We have to make as one and build our country no matter where we are, what we do. If I am wrong, but Cambodian is developed; I am happy to be wrong than right.
I share the feeling with 11:26. The positive is the piece of paper but the very negative is the military secrets given to the Yuons for that piece of paper. What is the balance?
I've always wanted to hear Hun Sen's comments against the Yuons, but perhaps I'll be disappointed until he dies. The unfortunate Khmers!
Yea right! and all the bright minds are on the internet lol. Blow me, all you Eistein. If you are so much better, why don't you go to srok khmer and show off your talent? Or are you just all talk and turn into a sissy when it comes to action?
