1/ Probably the most exciting moment so far at #SLD22 is the 🇰🇭 Defense Minister discusses Ream Naval Base.

Finally, some (minor)🎇🎆🎇 Fireworks.

@graham_euan @Sharon__Seah @willschoong

"Washington Should Chill About China’s Cambodia Base"

@JackDetsch
foreignpolicy.com/2022/06/10/cam…
@BDHerzinger @JackDetsch 3/ 🇰🇭 Defence Minister addresses directly the several questiosn about Ream Naval Base.

"The base is built on 🇰🇭 own needs... Nothing more than enhancement of Royal Cambodian Navy."

1/ This report from 1988 is a really interesting read, esp thru lens of the geopolitical situation in 2021, regarding China-US competition.

@cgberube @cdrsalamander @lawofsea @JerryHendrixII @graham_euan @ElbridgeColby @Rory_Medcalf @BDHerzinger @mercoglianos @man_integrated
2/ This report is also interesting after listening to @Ng_Eng_Hen speech at #AspenSecurity, with his sweeping historical view, and quotes from Singapore's LKY on the nature of US and China.
