USA is pleased with Cambodian government cooperation is good news for Cambodia but it is a bad news for SRP. SRP has never wanted to see Cambodia has good relationship with USA and other Western countries at all. If Cambodia is developing and moving in the right track, SRP has no chance to win in the next election. So, all SRP wants to see is poor and destruction in Cambodia.

Yep, Yim Sovann said it many times already. If Cambodia is moving in the right direction. If Cambodia prosper, have good relation with the west, have job for new students then the SR party is in trouble. So the SR party strategic plan is to continue to make trouble for Cambodia, and to make sure that Cambodia keep moving the wrong direction, being poor and corrupt so that they have more chance of winning the next election.

i think people cambodian and the west can see srp's intention to keep cambodia bad picture, so they can use it for poltical gain. that is indeed hypocritical of them. i hope everyone will see cambodia the real picture and keep doing good thing for cambodia, despite all this political opponents that we know are doing their best to keep cambodia isolated and ignorant, well at least they tried and failed. god bless cambodia.

2:24 PM,

You must be Eang Sophalleth, yourself to care so much about the misspelling of your last name.

You need to make sure these news agencies know how to spell your last name since they have no clue when it comes to name.

What is interesting is that the RGC allows many KhmerAmericans to participate in high ranking positions in the government from Minister rank to Secretary of State. This is important influence in shaping the way of thinking in a number of policy areas.
