PHNOM PENH (Khmer Times) – In a robust defense of his frequent overseas visits, Cambodia National Rescue Party president Sam Rainsy emphasized the importance of the Cambodian diaspora, declaring it to be “one-million strong.”

“We all, whether living in Cambodia or abroad, belong to one unique Khmer family,” he wrote on his Facebook page on August 28 under a posting called “The Khmer Diaspora.”
