This month, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet wrote to French President Emmanuel Macron, saying that it would also welcome expertise and advisory support from the former colonial power.
"The prime minister firmly believes that France's continued engagement will serve the shared objective of achieving a just and lasting solution, allowing the Cambodian and Thai peoples to live side by side in peace, security, good neighborliness and prosperity for generations to come," Cambodia's Foreign Ministry said in a press release.
