Phnom Penh – The Cambodian Watchdog Council (CWC) led by Rong Chhun announced that it will visit the location of border post 109 in Da commune, Memot district, Kampong Cham province, on 05 December 2010.
According to this announcement dated 29 Nov 2010, Rong Chhun, who is also President of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA), indicated that CWC delegates will perform a study visit to border post no. 109 to evaluate whether it encroaches on Cambodian territories or not? Next, CWC will raise this issue with the government so that the latter will review and resolve this issue.
The CWC communiqué indicated that the trip to the border on 05 December is aimed at checking border post no. 109 separating Cambodia from Vietnam, following complaints from local villagers who indicated that the planting of this border post encroached on rice fields belonging to Cambodian farmers living there.
Rong Chhun’s original plan to visit the border on 24 November 2010 was cancelled due to the tragic accident on Koh Pich Bridge on 22 November which led to at least 351 deaths and 395 injured.
