“Under international law, governments are generally responsible for the obligations of their predecessors.”Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Monday he will seek debt forgiveness from Barack Obama when he meets the US president in New York on Friday.
Hun Sen and other Asean leaders are expected to see Obama as part of the US-Asean summit, and the Cambodian premier has asked his staff to prepare a detailed argument for the reduction of more than $300 million in debt incurred prior to the Khmer Rouge takeover.
The money, borrowed by the US-backed Lon Nol regime, was “filthy debt,” Hun Sen said, inaugurating a new bridge in Phnom Penh on Monday. “How can filthy debt be repaid? Even a bank would cancel it.”
The US in the past has been reluctant to write off the amount. A US Embassy statement from Phnom Penh called it a “longstanding bilateral issue.”
“Under international law, governments are generally responsible for the obligations of their predecessors,” the embassy said, adding that US officials have made proposals to help resolve the issue.
“We hope than an agreement can be reached soon,” the embassy said. “Such an agreement would enhance Cambodia's creditworthiness and ability to access international capital markets.”

USA shall consider the debt is the debt and USA shall not waste our people Taxes paying money to the killer like Mr. Hun Sen is.
Every man and woman on this earth owed a debt that cannot be paid. Consequence? Death eternally. If you believe there should be prisons for man slayer... how about a borrower who cannot pay his debt?
Show me a man who was able to pay his debt off that he/she would not experience death. "For the wages of sin is Death but the gift of God is eternal life through Yeshua HaMachiah, (Jesus Christ).
I work for my hourly wage for my livilyhood, but the wages of sin was passed down to me from my father and father's father.....all the up from one of Noah's sons that would have been my lineage.
Actually there were two men who never experience physical death because God took them to heaven awhile they were still alive.
8:05 please go to cut off your both legs and pray to your God to make your legs come back to the normal,if you can make it with out Hospital I and all my colleagues believe in what are you believe period.
Actually the US should compensate Cambodia for loss during the 1969 and 1970 illegal bombing! Why the hell are you supporting those killed your people? The compensation shall be more then 3million for loss of lives, damages, and brought Cambodia to the horrible wars and genocidal regime that killed more than two millions people. The policies of the US are to wage wars killed peoples and withdraw when things get out of control. God will see to it. No nation can stand tall for ever!
correction: compensation shall be more than US$300 millions

You just read this anti-khmer-government blog and start talking shit without trying find out the detail about what kind of debt the Cambodia owed the US, is the supplies shipment even got to Cambodia, is the US supplied Lon Nol to support the war. You should dig a little deeper, do some research before you make all your hatred comments. Your fucking retards.
