Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has expressed deep gratitude for Vietnam’s constant assistance to the Cambodian people.
At a reception for the delegation from the Vietnam-Cambodia Friendship Association led by its Chairman Vu Mao in Phnom Penh on November 22, Mr Hun Sen said that Vietnam and Cambodia are set to tighten the ties of friendship and cooperation for the benefit of developments in both countries.
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) for the Prosecution of Crimes Committed during the Period of Democratic Cambodia is trying the three senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime, including Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan and Ieng Sary.
During Pol Pot’s genocidal regime, Khieu Samphan acted as State leader, Nuon Chea was known as the “Brother Number Two” second in command, and Ieang Sary as Foreign Minister.
Ieng Thirith, Ieng Sarry’s wife who was the then Minister of Social Affairs, was absent from the court due to her loss of memory.
Hundreds of Cambodian people including Buddhists, students and survivors from the Khmer Rouge regime are closely following the four-day trial.
All of the four defendants still deny their genocidal crime of killing 2 million Cambodian people during the Khmer Rouge rule from 1975-1979.
The ECCC was established in 2006 under the auspices of the UN. In July, 2010 it passed a 35- year imprisonment sentence on Kaing Guek Eav alias “Duch” who had overseen the Tuol Sleng (S-21) prison, for his war crimes and crimes against humanity.
