DPRK Please donate few medium size missiles to cambodia .
cambodia need big bombs if you have any lying around not use cambodia will put it to good use.
any new powerful weapon haven't tested yet cambodia will conduct a test for you.
You hit my idea! If DPRK let us test any of its missiles, then fruitful outcome will go to both sides.
Une fois La CORéE DU NORD , une fois LA CORéE DU SUD , voilà la politique de ce gouvernement !
RDPC est le lieu de culte de Sihanouk à l'époque ! maintenant le PM cambodgien veut jouer la même carte.
La leçon amère des communistes , nous avait détruit !
Le seul pays au Monde qui ferme les frontières , comme à l'époque des RDK (Khmer Rouge) de 1975-78 , c'est bien La Corée du nord.
Les anciens communistes , comme La Russie et La Chine , sont tous évolués vers l'Occident .Les expériences ne montrent pas que le Communiste ramène la prospérité pour son pays , encore moins pour son peuple . Il y a que le peuple qui souffre , comme nous avions vécu à l'époque des KR .
Arrêtez de fréquenter ces dictateurs , il n'y a pas de leçons à recevoir !
4:47 PM, how could you blame North Korea of closing it door to the world !? Didn't you read that its leader just invite Khmer PM to visit Pyongyang? May be in your eye Cambodia is not part of the world community or not count as a country worthy to befriend with. How arrogant of you is that? But wait,I know you love Cambodia and you did not belittle Khmer kingdom as I try to paint you.It's just my practical way of telling you that it's very hurtful to North Koreans feeling when you accuse unjustly their beloved nation. What you have done is just trying to isolate one nation from the other. You should be ashamed of that. As for myself,I would not hesitate to encourage my Khmer youths to go and learn from North Korea how to develop military program that can be useful to defend our country.
DPRK come to cambodia they have one thing in mind (to see first hand if cambodia need any military hardwares why they strictly defense officials only ).
you talking about the country that manufactures long range missiles here "it not what you know BUT WHO YOU KNOW " now cambodia known the right man.
few semi atomic bombs on loan or few years will do.

7:17 PM, I think Cambodia's leaders are wooing North Korea because they can get cheap weapons. N. Korea is poor, but it has weapons for sales and it needs money. Cambodia wants weapons so I think this visit is to negotiate to buy cheap but modern N. Korean weapons.
7;26 no wasting the time thai never respect anything if thai respect the verdict of ICJ it wouldn't come to where it is today.
thai is the law breaker
thai is the thief
thai is the thugs
I wish Cambodia would receive some modern weapons from NK so as to ensure her territorial integrity and national sovereignty.
Plenty of modern weapons in N.Korea. Cambodia will export plenty of rice to NK for modern missile to shoot down F-16, now i knew why King Sihanouk spent alot of time in North Korea..? Cambodia must continue to have a good relationship with North Korea...Yes!
Norh Korea weapons and China are the samething...
