Cambodia Open to Taking Ukrainian Refugees: Hun Sen

Cambodia would take on refugees from the war in Ukraine if they fled to Cambodia, Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Thursday. “In the case of Ukrainians fleeing to Cambodia, we have to allow them to stay,” he said during a speech in Prey Veng province. However, he added that he would not allow Cambodians to go volunteer to fight in Ukraine, saying it would be like pouring gasoline on a fire.

 

He urged negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to end the fighting, echoing his recent statements that he believes ending conflict should be the first priority in various geopolitical situations. Earlier this year, he made a controversial visit to war-hit Myanmar to meet coup leader Min Aung Hlaing, insisting on engagement to end fighting despite criticism that he was legitimizing the coup.

 

The war in Ukraine has now continued into its fourth week, with as many as 10,000 total soldiers killed so far, according to U.S. estimates. During the speech, Hun Sen also called on embassies to repatriate foreign nationals struggling in Cambodia, singling out the German Embassy for not responding to his officials about issuing a passport for a homeless German man in Phnom Penh.
