British Foreign Minister Arrives on Cambodian Visit

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Exactly, it's all about selling Bentleys and Rolls Royces and Aston Martins and Range Rovers and Jaguars and Tetleys Tea. I'm not at all sure how many of these companies are still British owned but they are meeting to discuss trade, and environmental protests don't earn much for the exchequer.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Are you feeding me my lines JB? :D

Bentley is Volkwagon, Rolls Royce is BMW and Jaguar/Range Rover is Tata Motors of India. Tata also own Tetley Tea via Tata Consumer Products of Kolkata. Only Aston Martin is a UK PLC so, in theory, anyone can own it. But with operating income of £600M in 2000 but with net income of MINUS £400 million, I don't think even the Indians want it.

That's global Britain for you. We've sold the lot.

At the main meeting the Union flag (and a pretty poor one it was to be honest) was upside down, something that used to be a distress signal
