Visiting U.S. high-ranking military officer Gen. William Crowe has accepted a request by Cambodia's National Center for Peacekeeping Forces and ERW Clearance (NPMEC) to train Cambodian forces on peacekeeping mission, official news agency AKP reported on Monday.

The request was made by Gen. Sem Sovanny, general director of the NPMEC, during a visit to the Oudong military training school on Mar. 11 by Gen. William Crowe who is in charge of South Asia and ASEAN affairs office under the U.S. Department of Defense, AKP said.

He said that the U.S. Secretary of Defense fully supported the activities of mine-clearance by the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces ( RCAF).

Visiting to several activities of mine-marking in the artificial minefields along with the slide show of the past mine- clearance activities made by the RCAF in Sudan and the RCAF joining the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) held in many countries such as in Mongolia, Bangladesh, Indonesia .., Gen. William Crowe highly valued the RCAF's potentiality and remarkable achievements.

វាសំមុខហើយធ្វើអ្នកនយោបាយយួរៗទៅ
ជាប់គុកហើយរត់ចោលប្រជាជនទៀ
កុំភ្លេចថាមិនមែនសម័យលន់នល់ទេ
នរណាមួយចង់ធ្វើឲ្យប្រទេសកម្ពុជាធ្លាក់ក្នុងរណ្តៅ
ម្តងទៀតនោះមិនបានទេគេដឹងក្រយៅរបស់បក្ស
ប្រឆាំងនៅកម្ពុជាហើយដោយមានបរទេសគាំទ្រនោះ។ហើយថែមទាំងនិយាយថារដ្ធាភិបាលរាល់
ថ្ងៃនៅក្រោមយួនក៏ប៉ុន្តេខ្លួនឯងសោះដែលនៅ
ក្រោមបញ្ជាររបស់បរទេសនោះ។
ម្នាក់ៗមិនស៊ីប្រហុកទេបែទៅជាស៊ីកណ្តួយទៅវិញ
គួរចង់សើចណាស់!

Khmer needs to learn from Chinese's ideology because unlike USA, Chinese kept things to themselves including zero tolerant to outsiders dictatorship or influences, "be closer to the light and surely you will see but you stay in darkness, you won't". Just remember, be aware with all outsiders because no one in the whole want you to be better than them because it is part of our human existence. Life is about compare and compete. If someone wants to help you it is better not to have sting attach to it or ask them "what is the catch". Be careful, no one in this world love others'children more than your own. So, my point is you have find ways to protect our nations and country by cooperation, e.g. unity and work together as a team. The need to have many qualified people to do the job and think carefully and deeply, e,g. work smarter but not harder. In other words, try to use new technology to do the job for us and not us do for job. Wisdom
