PHNOM PENH, June 17 (Bernama) -- Cambodia sent 47 soldiers to Thailand to take part in the Ayara Guardian 2011, a multi-national United Nations-led peace-keeping exercise, which runs from June 13 to July 1, reported the Vietnam news agency (VNA).
Seeing off the soldiers at the Phnom Penh International Airport on Thursday, Prak Sokhon, Secretary of State for the Council of Ministers said that the exercise would be a good chance for Cambodian troops to learn from senior military trainers from the United States, Indonesia and the United Nations.
Prak Sokhon, who is also the chairman of the National Coordination Committee of the United Nations Peacekeeping Operation, added that the participation in such international exercises will help Cambodian soldiers to strengthen their military capacity, as well as keep up with advanced military skills from other countries.
