Statement By Secretary Clinton: Khmer New Year
Released in Phnom Penh, April 11, 2009
On behalf of the American people, I wish to congratulate the people of the Kingdom of Cambodia on the occasion of Khmer New Year.
This past year has been marked by significant progress in our relations, including U.S. military humanitarian ship visits, new agreements to implement assistance programs in economic development and the rule of law, and Peace Corps volunteers in 11 provinces.
I look forward to the year ahead as our two nations identify even greater opportunities to strengthen our bilateral ties, as well as to work together on mutual areas of interest. We value Cambodia's commitment to further it social, economic and democratic development.
On the occasion of the Khmer New Year, I wish the Cambodian people peace, prosperity, and best wishes.
