PHNOM PENH, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday asked the United States to remit Cambodia's debts which the country has owed since 1970s by Lon Nol's regime.
"The U.S. should cancel the debts for Cambodia because the U.S. dropped large amount of bombs on Cambodia and many people suffered from it," he said at a ceremony of releasing final result of 2008 Population census at Chuktumok Theater Hall in Phnom Penh.
Hun Sen put forwards the requirement directly to Carol A. Rodley, U.S. ambassador to Cambodia who also attended the ceremony.
"The U.S. should pay compensation for Cambodians but the U.S. side has always asked us to pay debt back," he said.
Cheam Yeap, a lawmaker and chairman of the committee of finance, banking, economy and audition of Cambodian National Assembly, said that "we have been urging U.S. side to cancel debts for several times but they said they need decision from top level."
He added that Cambodia has owed the United State in a total of over 300 million U.S. dollars by Lon Nol regime.

Bravo! Way to go Samdach Si Cho Hun Xen with his PhD in begging.
$300 million dollars for the US is nothing. It's pocket changes for the US government. The US is using this debt to leverage influenues on the Cambodian government so Cambodia has no choice but to side with the US.
If the debt is gone, then what does Cambodia owe the US? The answer is nothing while the US has everything to owe Cambodia for all the destruction it caused the last few decades.
1;27am.
Hun Sen may be not educated in real schools but he sure knows how to pick the right time to do the job. He asks the US to cancel the debt because he knows that two powerful countries China and US are competing for attentions in SEA. You may see him as a stupid guy but his politics are getting more sleek and cleaver.
By dragging Cambodia into their Vietnam war, Cambodia in essence helped the US protecting their left flank and much more. But it did nothing for Cambodia but death and destruction. So the US, man up to this. On the other hand Cambodia owes the US zilch.

Oh No, Hun Xen is not stupid at all. He controls Sdach Sihanouk very well and if he were stupid enough, he would not earn his name as " Cambodia Strong Man " with his 8th grade schooling.
1;59am.
I am getting excited or going crazy as you are who is making remarks of who is controlling who or he earns his name as "Cambodian strong man", or the phony biography the Vietnamese elevated him; I only knew the politicians glamble with their strategies. That's right we are destined to fullfil our duties, and Hun Sen is not the first uneducated man to lead the country on this planet.
If you think Hun Sen does not love his country as you do, it is your opion.
I said I'm not getting excited.. 2;16am.
If Samdach Hun dares to ask Red Chinese (Mao Tse Tong) & Vietcong(Ho Chi Ming) those bloody master killing alliance to share the Pol Pot killing field of 2.5 Millions Khmers,& bring back Cambodia to year Zero.
How much those Hun clan need to pay back to Cambodia? walk away Clean hand?
it is morally correct for US to forgive debts incurred by Lon Nol regime...
the USA should use this golden opportunity in cambodia to yield american influence in cambodia. america is good at making deal with cambodia. go for it! god bless cambodia.
This KRT is indirectly backed by the US & Vietnam on the same strategies. The UN, Canadian and Australian judges work for the US.
This KRT is to put pressure on Hun Sen (Moyen de chantage) not to get closed to China.
These great strategies by China who controls water are powerful that is why the US is nervous for losing SEA region to China.
King Sihanouk was taken to China is to avoid the assassination by the Vietnamese.
I think Cambodia should handle this so sentitive matter very careful, because Cambodia needs both China and US.
Here are my suggestions:
Hun Sen should make a deal with the US that Vietnamese must completely draw from Cambodia and must respect Cambodia's territory.
I said before that the Vietnamese have many strategies to kill their enemies. They would have the photos and the tapes of every conversations of Hun Sen, then they will use them to stab him, but Hun Sen still can make a deal with the US.

hi guy, what is KRT?
Where was the Human Right? Where were the UN and US? Where was the World compassion? Where was God? Where were you when we need you during the KR regime? I was there and watched the innocent Cambodian dying. I had only the questions without answers. How come the UN, US just show after the Vietnamese invaded and liberated the Cambodians from the bloody hand of Khmer Rouge?? Until now I still can not get the right answers!!
KRT is Khmer Rouge Trial.
4:22 AM
Khmer Rouge didn't need help from Donor Countries or the UN that's why there were no human rights and UN in cambodia during khmer rouge regime.
During Hun Sen Regime , Cambodia can't cervive without help from Donor Countries . That's why you see NGO all over the country just to watch what Hun Sen's government will do to the money they got from those Countries.
Be smart dude .
And to agree so,
Hun Sen and his cronies will have more room to grab more dollars into their own pockets and their families connection.
Uncle SAM should not forfeit the loan.Cambodia should pay the loan with interest.Beside,we dropped bombs on North Vietnamese and Vietcong only,and idiot HUN SEN has no right to speak for them.Pay the money now tiger paper.
6;49am
The US isn't that stupid as you guys think. If the US tells Hun Sen like that, it just gives China a green light to get closer to Hun Sen. China does not mind to help and pay the debt as long as Cambodia is with China.
The US is not concerned about that money what the US wants is Hun Sen must not going with China.
Now the war between the US and Hun Sen. Forcing Hun Sen to pay he will pay (China money) or he will threat to join China. That's why the US puts pressure on Hun Sen with this KRT.
No oh no that is impossible,hey government of US is you take a look at this site you will no that Cambodian government is not our side ,they just wanted our money and go to work for Viet and China so I am telling you government of USA do not take that crap debt is the debt like we owe to CHINA.
Yep, there is a bigger stake than just the money here, jogging for position of influence. This $300 millions is just a pocket change to the US. But the US seems to be an off and on then late starter around 2007 as opposed to China. So the development will be interesting. But NO MORE Vietnam War like stuff. Cambodia certainly does not need it.
7;16am
only terrorists will be caught at anywhere the posters reside. post everything you all want.
Do not let that two faces country go free from debt,USA think that country poor think again ? No way look at Hun Sen billion billion USA dollar in the bank,come on some one have to have their responsible for the debt but not Cambodia.
Two face country? What the hell are you talking about? Elaborate your point.
hey 8:39 sucker took US dollar to fight with khmer rouge the same time made US lost the Viet war and took side with the China to condemn the US?
Now my elaborate Cambodia is triple faces 1 fake democratic for westerner country donate money,2 China money for infrastructures(cheated?) 3.Viet is the owner of the Cambodia but remain from the back (silence khmer killer for Cambodia)
FUCK THE USA....FUCKING BITCH ASS NIXONS FAULT...FUCKING DUMB USA SHOULD GIVE MONEY TO CAMBODIA....WE SHOULDNT GIVE THEM SHIT......THEY, THE U.S. STARTED ALL THAT SHIT ....
You arrogant prick. You forgot that the US dragged Cambodia into that stupid Vietnam war which the US had planned to quit since 1968. The Khmer Rouge was never a factor to Cambodia until after the 1970 coup which the US was the main supporter. After that Cambodia went down hill. You think that we don't know about the damn Vietnamese, you are mistaken.
Cambodia Town

Uncle Same should forfeit loan to promote democracy, develop economy, educated people, rebuilt infrastructure in Cambodia which were ravage by war.

This retard stutters. He has to post his stupid comment twice.
"US Policy Remains Unforgiving of 1970's Debt"
How about..."Cambodia is unforgiving over the US bombings of Cambodia during the Vietnam War...which caused the death of 568,893 of innocent Cambodians."
Does the Royal Government of Cambodia intend to do something about that?
It's time for the Royal Government of Cambodia ask the US government for compensation regarding this matter.
The US government owes Cambodia $300 billion dollars of damages inflicted upon its country and citizens...
All facts and evidence of American bombardment of Cambodia between 1963-1974 are recorded in films and newsprints world wide.
A portion of compensation to Cambodia should come from Kissinger as well...
