[geovalin]

The United States has reversed its decision to suspend $18 million in assistance to Cambodia through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) following this year’s National Election when Washington had considered the election unfair and lacked transparency.

 

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation released a statement on Saturday that “The United States had decided to resume the $18 million in assistance extended to Cambodia through USAID that was stopped following this year’s General Election.”

 

The announcement was made during Prime Minister Hun Manet’s meeting with Victoria Nuland, United States Acting Deputy Secretary of State, on the sidelines of the 78th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York on Friday. Nuland warmly welcomed Mr Hun Manet to the United Nations (UN) in New York and congratulated him on his nomination as Prime Minister for the seventh mandate of the National Assembly.
