There's been a significant development between Cambodia and Myanmar lately. The two countries have agreed to establish a formal military cooperation framework. This isn't just a rumour; Cambodia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially announced it.
So, what does this cooperation entail? The official document mentions focusing on sharing experiences and boosting training for defense and security personnel. Basically, it's about getting their militaries to interact more, learn from each other, and build closer ties.
This development follows Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing's recent visit to Cambodia. He was here for two days, from September 11th to 12th. He visited both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, met with several high-ranking Cambodian officials, and and even took part in some cultural events. Word is, Cambodia was the fourth ASEAN country he's visited.
However, details on how this cooperation will actually work haven't been released yet. Around town, people are aware, but everyone's waiting to see what actually unfolds.
