PHNOM PENH, Aug 4 — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken today told Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen that Washington wanted a “strong, positive relationship” between their two countries.

The United States and Cambodia have had a frosty relationship in recent years, with Washington fiercely critical of Hun Sen’s ongoing crackdown on his political opposition and increasingly wary of his increasing engagement with China’s military. — Reuters
