PM: Stop Renting Out At Vietnam Border

[geovalin]

Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday again ordered Kandal provincial authorities to stop residents from leasing land to Vietnamese farmers, repeating a similar demand from in August. The appeal comes only days after the head of the Kingdom’s border committee openly said there was nothing Cambodia could do to stop Vietnamese soldiers from building on Cambodian land.
 

In a formal discussion with provincial officials streamed on his Facebook page, Mr. Hun Sen said they had to all work harder to promote the province’s business prospects to bring jobs to their people. Kandal province has more than 150 garment factories, so garment workers should be taken care of and their living situations should be improved, he said.
 

But the majority of his talk was on the border with Vietnam and the efforts government officials had to put in to foster good relations with their Vietnamese counterparts. “Border demarcation will be faster and the leasing of farm land should be stopped in all forms. I would also like to remind authorities to prevent all types of crime and drug trafficking as well as gambling,” he said.
