Japan, Cambodia agree to work together over Myanmar, South China Sea

The PLAN is building a naval base in Cambodia at Ream. Cambodia is perhaps one of the last SE Asian nations to rely on to counter China in the SCS.

Hun Sen is not exactly "Mr reliable" nor is he trustworthy. Be careful Japan.

Some sort of alliance is better than none. Myanmar might be kicking that Rossignol (sp?) genocide full gear again.

Better than nothing.

Hun Sen wants more money for his country, that's all. More investment than China and he won't listen to China anymore.

What happened ? I thought Cambodia and China had a buddy buddy relationship ?

Despite the criticism leveled at him, Hun Sen has managed to bring Cambodia into the 21st century. Good to see Cambodia playing an active role in the assistance of its neighbors, just as it once needed assistance in years past.

Hun Sen is not exactly ''Mr reliable'' nor is he trustworthy.''

The term ''trustworthy politician'' is in itself oxmoronic. It's not fair to compare Cambodian politics to that of other countries.

Like Cambodia adhere to Democratic values
