“This donation is in the interest of security and humanitarian affairs.”
A South Korean shipment of military vehicles and materiel arrived in the port of Preah Sihanouk province on Wednesday, adding to the increased military aid the country has welcomed in the past few years.

The shipment included 100 vehicles, three utility boats, and engineering and medical equipment, military and port officials said.

The equipment came at the request of the Cambodian government, to help bolster its maritime defenses, Chao Phearun, a lieutenant general in charge of equipment for the Ministry of Defense, said.


“This donation is in the interest of security and humanitarian affairs,” he said. The boats would help patrol the seas and the vehicles would be used to help in disasters and emergencies, he said.

“We can use the engineering equipment to build roads, dams and canals to avoid disasters,” he said.

Defense Minister Tea Banh said South Korea had donated the equipment without charge, and officials said the shipment was a reflection of deepening ties with South Korea.

The donation comes as Cambodia's armed forces are growing and as a border standoff with Thailand continues.

Last week, the Council of Ministers approved a $445 million increase in defense spending. In September, Cambodia bought 100 tanks and armored personnel carriers from the Ukraine, adding to several shipments of military equipment received from China.

Silly Hun Sen, why do you need all of this military aid from China & South Korea? Hun Sen, didn't you remember that you already have several thousand Vietnam People's Army soldiers in civilian clothing in Cambodia ready for action whenever you need them?

Give a military aid to the special units so they can protect Hun Sen better and sometimes they can use it to hurt their own people just like they have done in the past . Good idea South Korea .

Congrats Hun Sen, you now are a proud owner of many more refurbished surplus military vehicles & equipments. You must feel so high and mighty with China's & South Korea's newly repainted leftovers from Cold War era against Thailand's modern & heavily equipped military. Hey Hun Sen, next time try asking for some army boots for your poor and malnourished Khmer soldiers out in the provinces who wear flip-flops out into battle.

I am CPP of Phnom Penh... I can tell you HS can't trust no one. He prepared for internal coup with Viet Nam. Hanoi sees HS is USELESS now, the greedy Hanoi is eyed on some one else. Not Hun Manet either...we cant tell you now. HS is a international criminal on the lose, Hanoi did not want that personality in Cambodia's land.

You will see the new leadership in CPP very soon, HS is walking into his own trap: Hanoi know HS is murderer K5, granade attack 1997, and thief and HS killed all the khmer nationalist and journalists so...HS can't get away from his bad deed. "trov te song chearm"


Hun Sen is preparing war with Viet Nam. Internal coup is about to burst very soon.

CPP........... Phnom Penh

នេះជាជោគជ័យចំពោះការដឹកនាំរបស់រាជរដ្ធាភិបាល
ដើម្បីបំពាក់កងទ័ពខេមរភូមិន្ទ។ តែទង្វើនេះនឹងត្រូវ
ទទួលការទិទានវាយប្រហារពីសត្វល្អិតមួយក្រុមដែល
មិនចង់ឃើញខ្មែរបានសុខបានចំរើនទេ ពីព្រោះមុខ
របររបស់គេគឺវាយប្រហារគណបក្សកាន់អំណាច
តែប៉ុណ្នោះ។ បើពេលណាពួកគេឈប់ព្រុស ម្ចាស់គេ
នឹងបង្អត់ដុល្លារ និង បង្អត់អាហារ។

Thank you South Korean President Lee Myung-bak for taking time care for my Country and my people.

It seems like there is always two worlds forever. Is South Korean President deaf and blind about Hun Sen's trouble? His smile proves very ignorant.
