Samdech Tea Banh: China is helping to develop Ream port in Cambodia more modern and less expensive and is leaving Cambodia as a customer, not exclusive to China.

Phnom Penh : Samdech Pich Sena Tea Banh, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense of Cambodia, on June 2, 2021, confirmed that the Chinese side, which is a friend of steel, has helped develop Cambodia's Ream port to be more modern than before. Bonded and after construction, let Cambodia be the consumer, in accordance with the Constitution, not exclusively for China.

Samdech Picheay Sena stated: "Contribution to the development of Ream Port to upgrade the Cambodian defense sector in the maritime sector or to give Cambodia a base to have a suitable place, a workshop for repairing ships, a port for docks. Approved. "Today it is clear that there is no workshop for small water plants, so they came to help. Cambodia is very grateful, thank you, and this help is clearly discussed, they help without ties."

Samdech Picheay Sena stated that all the infrastructure to serve the Navy needs to be built, the development of this Ream area is not a small amount of money can be done, and Cambodia is not able to develop on its own, with China as a partner. Provide assistance and that Cambodia has reminded of the merits of the Chinese side that has helped develop the Cambodian economy.

Samdech Pich Sena Tea Banh stated, "Now (Ream Port) is starting the process (construction) and by sending (materials) to build according to the needs of Cambodia and Cambodia is not a consumer of Cambodia, develop its homeland, not for detachment. Face to China.

Confirmation of the development of Cambodia's Ream port came after a number of US media outlets continued to attack Cambodia for allowing China to set up military bases in the Ream country, while Cambodia has repeatedly stated that it It is not unconstitutional and there are no foreign military bases in Cambodia.

Samdech Pich Sena stated, "Does Cambodia have the right to seek help to develop its country?" "The Cambodian Constitution clearly states that Cambodia reserves the right to receive foreign aid in the form of weapons, ammunition, training and other matters in order to defend its homeland and protect the country's order."

"It is true that our sea is small, but we also need a shipyard, a workshop for repairs. We also have some small ships, and if we can, we also need to develop our ships to be bigger," he said.

Samdech believes that the US media's accusations against Cambodia are not due to the development of the Ream area, but may be due to geopolitical factors. Samdech considered that the announcement that Cambodia had handed over the port of Ream to the Chinese monopoly was an exaggeration, pretending that Cambodia had no law or no right to do anything.

Samdech has already stated that our Constitution clearly states that Cambodia does not allow foreign military bases in its country, and we also do not have military bases abroad, which Cambodia has repeatedly stated. "But they do not listen."
