Cambodia is a best partner supporting the activities of the League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia over the past 32 years.
‘This is a humanitarian gesture and expresses deep sympathy for the families of missing American soldiers. Cambodia clearly divides humanitarian work from political issues,’ underlined visiting Mrs. Ann Mills-Griffiths, Chairman of the Board and CEO of the League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia, while paying a courtesy call on Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, here at the Peace Palace this morning.
Mrs. Ann Mills-Griffiths took the opportunity to introduce to Samdech Thipadei her successor, Mr. Mark Stephensen, who will continue to cooperate with the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC).
For his part, Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet highly appreciated the work of the League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia, reaffirming the RGC’s continued support and
efforts to facilitate this work to be successful.
The Cambodian Premier told Mrs. Ann Mills-Griffiths that H.E. Pol Saroeun, as assigned by the RGC, will continue to provide coordination and cooperation with all stakeholders to successfully carry out the search and excavation mission for the missing American remains.

A suspect in a bank robbery in the central city of Asan was arrested Friday, about five hours after fleeing with 100 million won (US$75,901) in cash, officials said.
The suspect in his 50s allegedly stole the money from a branch of the Korea Federation of Community Credit Cooperatives in Asan, 83 kilometers south of Seoul, at around 4:20 p.m.
The man, wearing a mask, threatened three workers there with a deadly weapon, took the money and fled the site by stealing a car owned by one of the employees, though nobody was injured.
After an hourslong search, police caught the man at a shopping mall in Anseong, located 64 kilometers southeast of Seoul, at 9:05 p.m., and are conducting an investigation, the officials added.
