Cambodia's Foreign Minister Hor Namhong (L) shakes hand with visiting Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop at Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation on Feb. 22, 2014
PHNOM PENH (Xinhua) -- Cambodia will take in only voluntary refugees from Australia, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said Wednesday.
"We will only receive refugees, who voluntarily agree to come to Cambodia, not by force," he said in a response to questions raised by journalists. "This is the most important principle of Cambodia."
Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop requested Cambodia to accept some of refugees from Australia during her visit to Cambodia in February, and early April, Australian Immigration Minister Scott Morrison flew to Cambodia to further discuss the issue with Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sar Kheng.
He said both sides have not determined the number of refugees Australia will send to Cambodia.
Under the offshore processing scheme, which Australia says is aimed at deterring people-smugglers, any asylum-seeker arriving by boat or intercepted at sea is transferred to detention centers in Manus island of Papua New Guinea or Nauru for processing.
If their asylum claims were approved, they would only be allowed to settle outside Australia.

The Australian government will bribe those refugees to go to Cambodia. This is how they gain their volunteerism.
