The Swedish Embassy in Cambodia will officially close its office here in December. The Swedish Ambassador to Cambodia, Björn Häggmark conveyed this news to Minister of Interior Sar Kheng during a meeting on June 30.

 

However, the current embassy will be transformed into a section office of the Embassy of Sweden in Bangkok. The change of Sweden’s presence is part of a continued adaptation of Sweden’s Foreign Service to global challenges and new demands including efficiency.

 

During the meeting with Kheng, the Ambassador, who informed about the closure and the opening of a section office, also spoke on sustainable development and the many dimensions such as labour rights. The decentralisation, he said, is done with the aim to enhance service delivery, accountability and participation at local levels.

What a bunch of mealy-mouthed lies.  How on earth can closing a country's Embassy possibly do any of this?
