The Cambodia Border Affairs Committee officials have inspected the border area in Tboung Khmum  province where hundreds of hectares of land were allegedly lost to Vietnam during the border demarcation and found that this was not the case. Var Kimhong, CBAC chairman along with his deputy Koy Pisey as well as Tboung Khmum provincial governor Cheam Chan Sophorn visited the demarcated areas in Ponhea Krek district’s Trapeang Phlong commune on Saturday, where irregularities in the installation of border markers allegedly took place.

 

Kimhong’s visit followed an order made by Prime Minister Hun Sen last month, asking him to inspect a demarcated area along the Vietnamese border in the province after a report of villagers claiming their farmland had been lost to Vietnam. Speaking to reporters at the scene after an interview with the villagers, Kimhong said the allegation that farmland was lost due to border demarcation was unsubstantiated.

 

“The villagers never said the border demarcation caused the land to be lost, anyone who claims this is a liar,” Kimhong said. “They [villagers] also expressed their gratitude to Samdech Techo Hun Sen for his efforts in installing the border markers to protect our sovereignty.”
