President Joe Biden coming to Cambodia.

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.

where does the meeting take place?
Assume the road from the airport to hotel on arrival and departure will be shut as well

as secret service usually arrives a week or so in advance
you all can play , "spot the Secret service personal in the hostess bars" :beer3:

It's the usual deal, they're closing down Russian Blvd. so people can go straight to their hotel. Everything is so simple here. But the traffic is pretty bad during those hours. No matter who the VIP is. But I think Trump was wise not to show his ass here. His reputation as a ladies man is already tarnished enough. Cheers

PHNOM PENH – Prime Minister HE says ASEAN meetings in Phnom Penh next week are expected to lead to traffic disruption, urging people to understand the honor of hosting such a large gathering of world leaders.

The 40th and 41st ASEAN Summit and Related Summits are slated for Nov. 10-13. About 10,000 security personnel will be deployed to maintain order and security.

HE told a graduation ceremony of difficulties that would arise when roads were closed so that foreign guests can avoid traffic congestion. He said Phnom Penh citizens would be considerate.

The Cambodians I know definitely knew who Obama was, especially considering he was the first US president ever to visit the Kingdom. And they definitely noticed the mess the traffic was in. If you only know uneducated peasants then it's no big surprise if they don't know much other than the price of vegetables in the market and neighborhood gossip. He was a rude twat anyway. He was all smiles meeting the Myanmar junta rulers but couldn't bring himself to do the same with his hosts here because "human rights".

As far as I know much of the conference will be at the Sokha Hotel on Chruoy Changva.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
