Senior officials from Cambodia’s Defence Ministry will leave for Thailand today for the 11th General Border Committee, which aims to strengthen cooperation between the two countries, particularly on cross-border crime. The delegation will be led by four-star General Neang Path, secretary of state for the Ministry of Defence, and will spend three days meeting with their opposite numbers from the Thai Defence Ministry.

Cambodian Defence Ministry spokesman Chhum Socheat said the delegations will discuss, among other things, drug smuggling, human trafficking, illegal logging and the smuggling of artefacts.
