The United States wants a meeting together with Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos to speed up searching for the remains of American soldiers missing in the Vietnam War, said Ann Mills Griffiths, head of the National League of POW-MIA Families, on Wednesday.
She made the suggestion during a meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, and she also thanked Cambodia for helping the U. S search for American soldiers' remains in Cambodia, the spokesman for the Prime Minister, Eang Sophalleth, told reporters after the meeting.
Meanwhile, the premier reiterated that Cambodia will cooperate actively on this issue.
Gen. Pol Saroeun, commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), has also urged the U.S to speed up search as people who have known this issue are very old now.
According to the U.S. POW/MIA (Prisoner of War/Missing in Action) Office, at the end of the Vietnam War, there were 81 U.S. personnel missing in Cambodia.
Cambodia has also allowed Vietnam to search the remains of its troops who had lost their lives in the country.

Il faut profiter de ces recherches , pour déterrer les ossements de nos compatriotes assassinés par les Khmers Rouges. Ces restes doivent être incinérés selon notre tradition .
Plusieurs centaines de milliers encore sont dans le sol cambodgiens !
Si ces américains peuvent nous faire un geste , car il y en a beaucoup de familles qui étaient massacrées , mais dans quel endroit , les KR ont jeté les corps , personne ne savait !
another corruption!
we all welcome America government. Please bring alot of money and we get someone to help you find your dead one.
Waste of money for rotten bones. Why can't they rebirth in Cambodia, Lao & Vietnam. it won't change their fate in life. Useless effort! Think reality, this an age of globalism.
Cambodia needs the United State involvment now than ever before. Khmers who have had a taste of real freedom love the United States of America. We need you!!!
PPLspeak
you have to understand american system, in america, finding these missing in action, whether dead or alive, is very important for accountability for military benefits, insurance purposes, principle of responsibility, etc, etc, you know! it's not simple like saying they're dead, give it up, it's been over 40 plus years, etc, it's not that, it's to do with accountability, you see! of course, america is different from cambodian thinking, ok! nothing wrong with that, ok!
people are always misunderstanding each other! they all need education from one another, really!
Why don't ask Heng Samrin about 2 American reorters he order to kill in Kompong Cham.
What is going on is the American govt pretedning the they were the victim of the war, but the true is Cambodia is the main victim costing nearly 2 millions Khmer lives.
Oh sure, and maybe they can also search for the tens of thousands of Lao and Khmer families-moms, dads, kids, and babies, that they bombed mercilessly from 10,000 meters high. Oh, american killer body worth more than simple Cambodian family.
