PM Hun Sen asks Russia to help provide COVID-19 vaccine to Cambodia

Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday asked Russia to provide COVID-19 vaccine to Cambodia in a move to stem spread of the virus across the country. This proposal was made during a meeting between Mr Hun Sen and Anatoly Borovik, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to Cambodia.

Mr Hun Sen said on his Facebook page that Cambodia congratulates Russia on the discovery of the COVID-19 vaccine. He added that the discovery of the COVID-19 vaccine could help the world fight the disease, which is facing a number of challenges, including socio-economic issues and the relations between many countries in the world.

Ministry of Health spokeswoman Or Vandine told Khmer Times yesterday that it’s good that the prime minister is asking for a vaccine from Russia, which is a friend. If Russia decides to give us [Cambodia] the vaccine, it depends on the decision of the government. “The ministry abides by the head of government’s instructions and recommendations,” she said.
