Phnom Penh (FN), June 26 – Head of the European Union Delegation in Cambodia who is a British national and is seen with a tendency toward supporting Cambodian opposition could be removed after the United Kingdom has reluctantly decided to withdraw from the European Union and when the world is forced to close their eyes and accept the fact that the UK is out.

The departure by UK is amid widespread fear and split among many other countries of a further breakup of the EU especially when founding members namely Germany, France and Italy met and discussed the issue yesterday in Berlin.

A senior Cambodian law official said that automatically when the U.K. is out from the EU, then the Ambassador in Cambodia who is a British national would be replaced by another official who is not a British national because U.K. is no longer an EU member country.

A Cambodian official who asked not to be named said it would be good if the British-national EU-Ambassador to Cambodia would be removed since the Ambassador is so much affiliated with the opposition and tends to be on the side of the opposition. “If there is a replacement, please make sure he is replaced by a non-partisan official so that it will be good for Cambodia,” the official was quoted by Fresh News as saying.
