Cambodia News, (Preah Sihanouk Province ): According to a press release from the French Embassy in Cambodia, a French warship named Prairial will dock at the port of Sihanoukville from March 24 to 28, 2023. The Prairial, a French frigate stationed in Tahiti, is due to pay a friendly call to strengthen ties between the French and Cambodian armed forces.

The last visit of a French navy ship to Cambodia took place in 2016, because the visit scheduled for 2020-2021 did not take place due to Covid-19 pandemic health restrictions. This latest stopover is a signal that the ties between the two countries remain close.

It's known to do surveillance and occasionally intercept drug smuggling boats, so, plenty of purpose in the area.
