PHNOM PENH, Monday 31 May 2010 (AFP) - Cambodia has condemned the torpedo attack that sank a South Korea warship in March, killing 46 sailors, according to a letter from Prime Minister Hun Sen to President Lee Myung-Bak.
Hun Sen said in the letter dated May 29 that he was "deeply surprised and concerned that the investigation... has concluded with irrefutable proof that the South Korean navy vessel, Cheonan, was sunk by a torpedo explosion".
"The Royal Government of Cambodia strongly condemns this act of provocation which (has) led to instability and insecurity, thus undermining peace in the Korean Peninsula," he said, without making specific reference to North Korea.
Cambodia is North Korea's oldest ally in Southeast Asia and the pair have shared a singular relationship, but Phnom Penh has become more critical of the country as South Korea has in recent years become one of its main investors.
International investigators reported on May 20 their conclusion that a North Korean submarine had fired a heavy torpedo to sink the warship. The North has denied involvement, and responded to the South's reprisals with threats of war.
The close relationship between Phnom Penh and Pyongyang began in the 1960s, when former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk formed a friendship with late North Korean leader Kim Il-Sung.
Kim Il-Sung built a home for Sihanouk near Pyongyang, while Phnom Penh in 2003 was among the first to offer to mediate tensions over North Korea's nuclear programme.

I think it is the right thing that PM Hun Sen condemns North Korea on this matter. We should not do like China. Well, personally I hate Chinese Government.
he condemned the torpedo attack on the south Korean warship, not North Korea.
Just be cautious what you wish for, Mr. one-eyed idiot.
If I were you, I will try to placate the enemy, at the same time listen to your advisors constantly and carefully to be in the safe side.
War is peace
North Korea is useless for Cambodia, poor country, outlaw country..Sihanouk alone is a friend of this country, he is then in hot situation..Thief friend sometime is not good..
It is judicious for the Kingdom to wait for a thorough investigation and statements from the Russian and Chinese before beginning torpedoed against North Korea. Also, the Cambodian government must understand the political repercussion, which could lead to future diplomatic dilemma. Further, Cambodia must walk delicate line over North Korea.
War is peace

You have to stop taking drug or you will destroy your life and your family . You have no idea what you are talking about because your brain got messed up by the drug you have been using .
I undersnad why Hun Sen condemms North Korea for their action against South Korea because South Korea has done more for Hun Sen than North Korea. Chkae , neak na oy vea see vea kapea neak ning heuy . While Hun Sen was fighting with Khmer Rouge Hun Sen didn't like Chinese because chinese supported Khmer Rouge .. but now , Chinese is a super friend of Hun Sen because chinese feeds Hun Sen's mouth .
to poster 4:13 PM
The torpedo came from North Korea submarine . You know what torpedo is ? If you know what it is and you know where it came from .. you will understand the statement that has been made bu Hun Sen .
Khmer Ga
Sihanouk liked to be friends with stranger because he knew that he had too many ennemies in Cambodia, he always lives half time in our country, when something went wrong he could leave Cambodia and live in friend countries.
Why Kim Il Sung build a house for Sihanouk ? Because Sihanouk was the first Leader who recognized North Korean at UN in the past.
Whot ta fuck care about N.korea or West Korea? all i care was, Khmers people needed a fucken jobs!!!!!! people have no jobs????? alot student finishing school and go back to farming.......?? why care about other super power and rich country? we are poors ass over here in our home?
Hun Sen really durnkard..? our people have no jobs...man! why ta fuck care about super rich country..? and powerful country? just do something about khmers people don't have a FUCKEN JOBS????
My God!
Agree, hundred hundred of khmer people streaming into Thailand for jobs everyday, Mr. Hun Sen should care about people over here, in our home instead..? by creating jobs here at home or something? why concerns about other country that given you a foods and money...? what ta fuck..can you do??
Hahaha! it's funny...shit! poor Azz cambodia tell rich country what to do?
Before Hun Sen condemn other wrong doing, look at himself first! He has done more wrong to his own people. He have no right to condemn anyone.

If i was like him, just worry about our own shits...in our own kitchen,(pot-n-pan instead..?) who ta fuck care or concern about N.Korea? they have a powerful nuclea weapons, even US fucen scared of them? and what can you do about that..?
Kim is very mad to hear the condemnation and is willing to a nuke to Toul Krasang soon.
Oh come on The savage KI Cambodians.
It is just Politic games.
The US want to put Euro below $, and recently the US lifted sanction against Russia to isolate Iran. Now China, because China rushed to help Euro. It's a secret deal behind the US and China. It is a way to say "I give you this?? so can you drop Kim?"
Now China declared that she stops supporting Korea. How long? It will go back to the same old song if the the US and China fight again.
In fact China supports Kim behind and uses Kim to haunt the west every time China wants some
thing.
This stupid KI still doesn't learn that it is just politic games between US and China? The facts China always supports Kim behind. China uses Kim to haunt the west to get what she wants.
One can see KI plays Yuon Hanoi's games again.
It's kinda annoying? when poor ass country like cambodia trying to say shit, condemn, criticize super power country or rich country...? just clean up your own shits...first!!! corrupted people all over the places? crime kept rising? people have no jobs? school school school, people finish college, university and where the fucken jobs???? My family in Phnom Penh have to drive Taxi for living right now? guy spent 4-5 years in school?
come on people!! it's just a GAMES!! Hun Sen also playing fucken game ok...would you all shut up...?
I'm GAY said...
Yuon exercising its colonial power.
Yuon's new strategies see in an article:
« Le Vietnam au Kampuchéa : La stratégie de consolidation »
by Justus M. Van Der Kroef.
Études internationales, vol. 15, n° 2, 1984, p. 291-309.
I copied a little portion from th abstract. To share.
[Hanoi govemment has sent some 40,000 Vietnamese party cadres, civil officiais and professionally trained to direct public affairs. Additionally, some 100,000 Vietnamese farmer s hâve migrated
into Kampuchea, settling in such key provinces as Kompong Speu, Takeo, and Kompong Cham. Additional tens of thousands of Vietnamese settlers hâve moved into
cities and the disputed frontier area. As fighting between the Vietnamese and résistance
groups affiliated with the ''Coalition Government of Démocratie Kampuchea" intensifies,
the Hanoi régime also has been expanding its logistical-military network. This inciudes the construction of a new road network — popularly called the "New Ho CM Minh Trail" — linking the Vietnamese cities of Hue and Vinh, across Southern Laos,
with Northwestern Kampuchea. Additionally, during the early weeks of 1983, a twentyfive
kilomètres long trench, studded with landmines and bamboo spikes has been constructed just inside the Kampuchean frontier, running from the village of Kop
beyond the village of Yeang Dangkum — a région of fréquent guérilla clashes. Along
with the 180,000 man force of regular military maintained by Vietnam in Kampuchea, thèse measures indicate intentions of Hanoi's consolidation of power. Especially in Southeast Asia fears hâve arisen of a permanent Vietnamese "colonization" process in Kampuchea.]
KI if you are serving Khmers not Yuon, you need to stop mocking around in RED. Your job as KHmer if you are, then search all secret informations (History wrote by real historians by the west) that Yuon have been doing to Cambodia. Post the history How Yuon did kill Khmers, so the Khmers can learn the real history not gossiping. I have so many old documents were written since 1800's, 1900's, I copied from the libraries in Ducth, France, but I have to store them all before they may disppeared. I knew when I start to post them, Yuon will try to kill me as they did to Khmer intellectuals. But I will post them in this very near future for you all to know the facts of savage Yuon.
10:43 PM,
You deserve to go back to your farm and rice paddy, and then bury your head in there waiting for job.
When you went to school, did you realize that one half of Cambodia's national budget was based on donated funds? And then thare are loans, too. So whether you like it or not, your ass is owned by other rich countries.
sen and dung are playing both the US and China cards. precariously, especially for sen, they both need to play a good balancing act.
remember grandfather king or retired king is now a private citizen. he can be friended with north korea; that's his prerogative and his alone. it doesn't mean cambodia like north korea system; it doesn't mean we have to be like north korea, you know! please treat a private citizen as an individual, not cambodia, ok!
It's good that PM recognizes N. Korea's flaw. North Korea is a fault state. They're the most delusional and bizzar country. Their people really don't know what reality is. People of north Korea think they got it made when in fact they are poor blind people and are Kim Jung Ill's frogs in the deepest well. Suck to be north korean people.
