Army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha (pictured) has expressed
concern over Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's plan to build a nuclear
power plant in Cambodia's Koh Kong province adjacent to Thailand's Trat
province.
Gen Prayuth said he wanted Cambodia to discuss the plan with other Asean members first.
He was speaking after Hun Sen raised the matter at the 30th Asean
Ministers Meeting on Energy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, last month.
The meeting, themed Asean Green Connectivity, aimed to boost
co-operation in the energy sector among the bloc's members and promote
the efficient use of energy, green energy and an integrated Asean power
grid.
Hun Sen said during the meeting that he was interested in building a
nuclear power plant in Koh Kong province to pave the way for economic
expansion in the country.
Energy Minister Arak Chonlatanon, who also attended the meeting, said
he was worried about the plan as Thailand would surely be affected by
it.
A Foreign Ministry official said Hun Sen's plan was too ambitious as
the area still lacked proper public infrastructure systems for
construction of a nuclear power plant. He said Cambodia was only
conducting a feasibility study to build a coal power plant in Koh Kong
province and was inviting Thai companies to invest in the construction.

wow, good for Cambodia,, kick Thai ass
This is a Cambodian energy/power plant, why should Cambodia discuss with other Asean countries. When Thailand built something, Cambodia never say a word. Is this general trying to tell Cambodia what to do?
This guy Prayuth is illusion paranoia,that is how the thieves use to steal people land when the victims were weaks,now the thieves is worrying when the victims stronger and better the thieves afraid that the victims fight back.Cambodia too poor to building a nuke bomb or Nuclear energy, you dumb ass [Prayuth] ki bar=INSANE did you take yama or yabar? Probably you take both huh!? yama or yabar=thnam chhkoud=crazy pills.Siamese words....I wish Cambodia has Nuke.
Yobal Khmer.
The bastard is already cry wolf. He's looking for reason to provoke Cambodia into arms conflict. Cambodia is a peace loving nation. If there is any neighborly problem, it's usually coming from roque country like Thailand or Vietnam. Cambodia has every right to nuclear power developmemt for energy to support its energy needs. Cambodia is not North Korea or Iran, don't assume too much.
