Closing Remarks by Ambassador Carol Rodley at Academic Symposium
I’d like to thank all of the participants for making this such a fascinating and productive two days of discussions. It was unprecedented to gather such a group of experts on the U.S.-Cambodia relationship, and the discussions indeed lived up to the billing.
A lot has happened over the past 60 years, of course, and many of the key events we discussed resonated beyond Cambodia’s borders. But what struck me more than any single event was the resilience that we saw in those 60 years.
First, there was the resilience of the Cambodian people. They have shown great optimism and determination to endure decades of turmoil and come out on the other side, ready to build a prosperous and democratic nation.
The U.S.-Cambodian relationship has shown its share of resilience, too. As one would expect with any relationship between two nations, there were high points and missteps, periods of strength and periods of misunderstanding.
But the relationship has endured, and it is stronger now than it has ever been before. We are partnering in many areas that promote our common interests, including military and law enforcement cooperation, counterterrorism and POW/MIA matters, and economic development, among many others.
The United States is providing over $105 million in assistance this year, which includes programs in health, education, economic development and accountability in government. U.S. assistance is supporting the Royal Government of Cambodia’s humanitarian and development priorities, just as it did nearly 60 years ago when the original aid program was launched in 1955.
As we look forward to the next 60 years, I believe we have much to be optimistic about. We look forward to increasing and deepening our ties and working toward our mutual goals. While there is still much work to be done, I am confident that our common interests will see us through to an even stronger future together. Thank you.
shut up, in cambodia, age matters; the older you are the more privilege you have, really! everyone respect the elderly in cambodia. it's in the our culture, really!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with these idiots in Cambodia? All they care about is "trumpeting" themselves. How they look, how many Ph.d's they buy or how many virgins they screw. All along while the country is moving backward. These Khmer rouge just changed their black clothes to suit and ties.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sok An for the job well done in Brazil.
ReplyDeleteLook at Phay Sipheh.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Ha...
Funny!
Mr. 5:58 AM,
ReplyDeleteIt is very rude to tell people here to shut up.
First of all, you are very well contradicting yourself by telling someone here to shut up, someone who may be older or even much older than you. Should I say then, using your own words that everybody minus you respects the elderly in Cambodia.
Second, the world is moving towards in the direction which honors freedom of speech and promotion of free expression so don't tell people to shut up as they may tell you the same thing.

Lots of promotion,lots of show off in cambodia,that is for sure!.
ReplyDeleteone thing I know that they are still child bizz,and hopefully they stay young forever!
This is probably the first time I'm going to disagree with KI Media over their commentaries. "...only that of the chief and his indian". THere is no indian in the CPP, KI Media. Only Chiefs. That's why the country is the way it is. Everyone is a chief of something or other, but nobody does any real work. All the chiefs are there to collect their official salaries, which they then partly use to suppress dissents in those below them, and partly use to pay those above them so their positions are safe. So what about money to live on and to buy those damned lexuses? Well, their wives, who are also chiefs in their own rights, are "good at business". That is the way it has always been, and the way that it will be with this wretched group. So there KI Media, next time be more thorough.
ReplyDeleteI am 100% agree with you, 5:59 AM.

How does one get to join this Scouts Group? Is there an office somewhere that I can apply for membership, or should I just send a few envelopes full of greenbacks to Sok An's office?
ReplyDeleteCUBS of PRIVATE PARTY!
ReplyDeleteI was in the Boy Scout in my younger years.
ReplyDeleteI remember how much Sihanouk despised us for being other than his "Jeuness de Sangkum Reastr Niyum Khmer".
And now these cummunist scums? Boy Scout Club members? What a farce!
Everything in Phnom Penh is a toxic and shameless dog and pony show.
8:13am,
ReplyDeleteI couldn;t agree with you more. These ccp politicians are looking out for themselves. They should stay out of it and recruit youths to join the boy scout club. But anything is possible in Cambodia's post-communist era. As shown in this picture old man like Phay Siphan officially recognized by his master Sok An for what level of achievement? In America Boy Scouts are for kids to join so that they learn to serve their community.
There are too many Chiefs...not enough Indians !
ReplyDeleteScout is for the youth, not for the dying thieves as shown in this article.
ReplyDeleteah sok an pak pralaov kar eov chhke phay siphan pros vea poke prosh
ReplyDeleteSok An, stop your foolish game and do your job instead, you just lost the border case, go must to school or resign..
ReplyDeleteSok An, stop your foolish game and do your job instead, you just lost the border case, you are not competent, you must go back to school or resign..
ReplyDeleteno SCHOLL WOULD ACEPTE GAINSTER!
ReplyDeleteSok An is good for giving medal to boyscout but he is incompetent to manage border question and something else.
