Hun Sen: I do not hate Americans

[geovalin]

About one month prior to an official state visit to the United States, Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday said that he has no hate for the US, only those who meant Cambodia harm during the height of the Vietnam War decades ago.

 

Speaking to Cambodian athletes upon their return from the 18th Asian Games in Indonesia, Mr Hun Sen said that he only carries resentment for Americans who invaded the country after a US-backed coup deposed Prince Norodom Sihanouk’s rule in 1970.

 

“I have never hated an American, but I do hate those who invaded Cambodia,” he said. “I hate whoever sent troops. I hate them because they wanted to topple Cambodia.”

He noted that former US president Richard Nixon dropped bombs in Cambodia in the 1970s. “I do not hate Americans,” Mr Hun Sen said. “All my children studied in the US and even one of my sons studied at West Point.”
