Phnom Penh (FN), June 1 - The spokesman for the National Defense Ministry, Chhum Socheat, disavowed recent promises made for a modernized military by a Yim Sovann of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), as deceitful propaganda.

“We will train our soldiers. We'll save money to buy modern weaponry for our troops so as to defend the country,” stated Yim Sovann.

“The CNRP’s policy is a farce used to gain votes.

Yim Sovann has no education or experience on military,” said MoD Chhum Socheat.

“The Armed Forces are trained in tactical strategies and in the use of all types of armaments, have field experience, and efficiently protect the welfare of people,” he added.

“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen, the MoD has sent UN peacekeepers to carry out missions and has been internationally recognized as a real army with international norms,” he added.
