U.S. Secretary of Defence to Visit 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.

Marines are now the amphibious force.
Yes, since 1775. :?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III Holds a Press Briefing Aboard a Military Aircraft
Nov. 23, 2022 Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD J. AUSTIN III: Well, good afternoon, and we thank you for coming with us. So we started out in freezing cold Halifax and wound up in blistering heat in Cambodia there. But I think it -- overall, it was a very productive visit.

While in Indonesia, I got a chance to spend some time with a great partner, again, the third largest democracy in the inventory, and we had a chance to discuss a number of things.

While in Cambodia, attending the ADMM-Plus, it gave us an opportunity to reconnect with many of our allies and partners, the ministers of those countries, and also got a chance to talk with Minister Wei, my Chinese counterpart. And in that conversation, we -- I emphasized the importance of keeping the lines of communication open, and I think he agreed with that.

I also talked about the importance of making sure that we emphasized safety and we make sure that we don't do dangerous things, in terms of close approaches to our aircraft and that sort of stuff. And so we talked about that a bit.

And I told him that we're going to fly, sail, you know, and operate anywhere that international law allows us to in the Indo-Pacific, and that's a message that he's heard before. The other thing was that -- I emphasized to him the need to make sure that our subordinates can open channels of communication as well, so the Chairman can (inaudible) and he'd be able to talk to his counterpart. The INDOPACOM Commander talking to his counterpart, I think, is very very helpful as well.

So let me stop there and we'll entertain some questions.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III Remarks Welcoming Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Richard Marles to the Pentagon
Dec. 5, 2022 Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD J. AUSTIN III: Deputy Prime Minister Marles, it's great to see you again. Welcome back to Washington. It's always great spending time together. We've done quite a few things here in the last several months, together. I just saw you a couple weeks ago in Cambodia at the ADMM-Plus.

Now, we've got a busy week in front of us with AUSMIN tomorrow and AUKUS on Wednesday. And today, we're focused on ambitious steps to further strengthen our Unbreakable Alliance. And that's within reach because our two democracies are so closely aligned on our most important strategic challenges and opportunities. In fact, I think it's safe to say that the Alliance between the United States and Australia is the strongest that it has ever been. And it remains vital to regional security.

Our two countries share a common vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific. And we seek a region where all countries are free to chart their own course; where all states adhere to international rules; and where all disputes are resolved peacefully and free from coercion. Now, we're meeting at a time of tension… especially from Russia's reckless and lawless invasion of Ukraine, as well as from coercive and destabilizing military activities by the People's Republic of China. But the United States and Australia are stepping up to support the rules-based international order.
