The Cambodian government has challenged opposition leader Sam Rainsy to show maps of Vietnmam's encroachments on Cambodian borders, after he accused the government of allowing Cambodia's neighbour (Vietnam) to encroach on significant portions of Cambodian territories in the last 30 years, report Khmer Sthapana.
On 19th of November, Mr. Rainsy had released a statement accusing the Cambodian government of failing to protect Khmer territories."Vietnam has been, over the last 30 years, grabbing thousands of square kilometres of Khmer territories in Kep, Kampot, Takeo, Kandal, Prey Veng, Svay Rieng, Kampong Cham, Kratie, Mondolkiri and Ratanakiri provinces. This is an ongoing painful process that Mr. Hun Sen does not want us to look at. But we can’t help seeing the tears and hearing the cries of countless Khmer farmers who are losing their rice fields and other farmland to Vietnam as I have recently witnessed in Svay Rieng province", the statement said.
However, government spokesman Khieu Kanharith (pictured) flatly rejected Mr. Rainsy's accusations and challenged him to show on the maps where the encroachments had occurred.
