Cambodia's army marks 61st anniversary

PHNOM PENH, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia celebrated the 61st anniversary of the founding of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces ( RCAF) on Saturday.

Defense Minister Gen. Tea Banh, along with RCAF's Commander-in- Chief Gen. Pol Sareoun, presided over the ceremony, which were attended by some 500 military personnel.
Tea Banh hailed the Cambodian armed forces for their great sacrifice for the causes of independence, peace, territorial integrity, and people's happiness.
"Besides, our armed forces have actively engaged in humanitarian activities and maintained public security and safety, " he said.
"On international affairs, the RCAF has adhered to the government's foreign policy and steadily strengthened and expanded ties and cooperation with friendly countries' armies."
Meanwhile, the minister advised all armed forces to focus on solidarity and capacity building so as to ensure the full protection of sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"The RCAF must be ready to fight all the time to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity at any cost," he said.

He said the reputation of the RCAF has gone internationally since the country has joined the United Nations in peacekeeping operations through sending peacekeepers to conduct humanitarian activities in war-torn countries.
The RCAF was established on Nov. 9, 1953.
