Cambodia to create national committee for maritime security soon: PM Hun Sen [-Can this committee prevent Vietnamese incursion?]

PHNOM PENH, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen Tuesday announced that the country will have the national committee for maritime security in next three months.

The committee will be led by Tea Banh, deputy prime minister and minister of national defense and It will contribute to fight against terrorism, kidnappers, pirates, human trafficking, crimes crossing border, and drug trafficking, the Prime Minister said at the second workshop of maritime security.

"It is time for us to create this committee to strengthen maritime security," he said, adding that "we need to provide the safety security for oil and gas exploration ships and containers cargo ships."

"We have been heavily cracking down the crimes regularly on land, we also have to consider criminals matters at sea. The criminals will be able to enter into Cambodia as fishermen and tourists," the premier said.

Cambodian sea water will not be shelter for terrorists or other criminals and the country is not the shelter for pirates, Hun Sen said. Even Cambodia has a small area of sea water, we have to strengthen capacity of maritime security, he stressed.

At the same time, he called on the countries in the world to cooperate each other to combat with terrorists and pirates, but he pointed out that it is not a time for us to compete armed forces for maritime to conquer the islands in the sea.

I don't know why stupid Cambodian government is so slow to realize how important the maritime security is and one of the long term goals should be to take back Koh Tral.

Cambodia need to access to the sea to conduct international trade and stop depending on the Siem and the Viet for everything!

Hun Sen needs more ships to guard Koh Tral for his master Youn and to protect his Viet fishermen like he uses the police to grab land for the Youns and business mafia inside cambodia.The is the result of a one-man government.

So, what is left for our Khmer people?
