U.S. State Department Official Visits Cambodia


A U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh's news release Friday says that its high ranking official plans to have an official visit to Cambodia for what is perceived to be to monitor the human rights abuse and democracy in Cambodia.

This visit happens after human rights abuse and democracy suffers due to criticisms against the government, leading to the arrests and imprisonment of independent human rights activists.

Those activists were later released after international and US pressure.

State Department Assistant Secretary-Bureau of East Asian and pacific Affairs Christopher Hill visits Cambodia in February which eased the political situation.

U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh announces Friday that the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Mr. Eric John will visit Cambodia April 30-May 2.

He will meet with government officials, opposition leaders and Prime Minister Hun Sen.
