February 28, 2008

The Cambodian government will send its soldiers to join international military exercise in Bangladesh at the end of this year, National Television TVK reported on Wednesday.

The troops have started their training course with the support from the U.S. Command Fleet for the Asia Pacific region, Sem Sovanny, senior official at the National Defense Ministry, was quoted as saying.

He made these remarks at the opening ceremony of the training course, named the Universal Peace Cooperation for Pacific, in Udong district of Kampong Speu province.

"The Cambodian soldiers are trying to strengthen its capacity for joining the international mission," said TVK.

Last year, some Cambodian soldiers joined an international military exercise in Mongolia and some other went to Sudan to undertake humanitarian affairs such as mine clearance.
