The Cambodian Government will deploy a large contingent of Phnom Penh police to ensure tight security for the two-day-visit of the South Korean President Lee Myung Bak, according the high ranking police officials. The president will be accompanied by a delegation tomorrow morning to Cambodia.
“We have already prepared to tighten the security to ensure the South Korean President and this delegation to Cambodia is completely safe,” Interior Ministry Spokesman Khieu Sopheak told DAP News Cam- bodia on Tuesday.
Ya Kim I, Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) deputy chief and Phnom Penh Armed Forces Chief, also assured that security for visit would be extra tight. “We have tightened security for the president and the delegation which is directed by the top leaders of the government,” Ya Kim I said. “This morning, I am discussing with the armed forces chief of the Govern- ment, General Sao Sokha.”
However, police could not confirm how many officers would be allocated for the protection.
An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told DAP News Cam- bodia that the exact size of the Korean delegation is as yet unconfirmed. However, more than 60 journalists are accompanying the delegation.
