North Korean Military Makes Rare Visit


Chun Sakada, VOA Khmer
Phnom Penh Tuesday, 29 March 2011
"Pak Jae-gyong, vice minister of North Korea’s armed forces, led nine other senior officials in meetings with defense officials, the prime minister, the king and others."
A North Korean delegation of military officials are meeting with their Cambodian counterparts in Phnom Penh this week, officials said Tuesday.

Pak Jae-gyong, vice minister of North Korea’s armed forces, led nine other senior officials in meetings with defense officials, the prime minister, the king and others, said Chhum Socheath, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense.

This is only the second such high military delegation from North Korea since 1995, he said.


“Importantly, he came to visit Cambodia to strengthen friendly relations and cooperation between the two countries,” he said. “His visit aims to share views and experiences in the national defense sector.”

The delegation visited engineering schools of the Cambodian military, but made no pledges of aid, he said.

Chheang Vannarith, executive director of the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace, called the visit of little major interest except to strengthen diplomatic relations between the two countries.

“I think for Cambodia’s national defense, we might not look at the interest from North Korea, because North Korea in international opinion and understanding is [viewed] more negative,” he said.

Lao Monghay, a former researcher for the Asian Human Rights Commission, said Cambodia should engage with many countries, including North Korea, to keep the singular influence of any one country limited.

North Korean senior military delegation firstly visited Cambodia in 1995 and this visit is secondly since 1995.

Vietcongs still exist...and still spreading communist idealogy!

Years and years have passed only ruins and more ruins under the communist system.

Cambodia needs true democracy! Those who have experienced life in the west...love demomcracy.

Oh! You give a fuck and the fact is Cambodia is a neutral country any leader are welcome to Cambodia including the Martians from planet Mars!

The North Korea is the most reclusive country on Earth and maybe Cambodian leaders can learn a few things from the North Korean if they want to defend their country from Siem and Youn thugs!

This is what happens when Thai keep on buying weapons from everyone in the world recently just proposed or requested to buy those 35 years old submarine from German and the reason for N. Korea made their trip to Cambodia is just to see and observe what does Cambodia really need to fight all these new Thai weapons. I think there will be submarine and new weapons given to Cambodia or even some Scud missle to Kingdom of Cambodia. Mark my words there will be a good weapons challenging going on in Southeast Asia. No counry in Southeast Asia will use old aging weapons anymore. Even Cambodia will be showing off its military soon.

Just need to get rid of Hun Sen, CPP Yuon members who have been controlled by Vietcong/Yuon Communist Hanoi masters. Those Hanoi masters need to be pressured by the International Communities and the U.N. as well as the U.S. and the NATO Key allies (French, UK, Canada, etc).

N. Korea did not like Vietcong and Thailand even thought N. Korea is the communist country and isolated from the world.

There is nothing wrong with N. Korea's leaders to visit Cambodia. North Korea is friendly with Cambodia and China...

Can North Korea teach us how to builds Nuclear Weapon too. So we can protected our own land from the two enemies of us. If we knew how build weapons can we retake our lost land back from the enemies Youn and Siem.
