Cambodia has agreed to resume a search effort with the United States for the remains of Americans killed in the Vietnam War, the Foreign Ministry said on Sunday, after suspending the program a year ago as tension rose between the two countries.
Prime Minister Hun Sen suspended the POW/MIA program when Washington stopped issuing some visas after Cambodia refused to accept citizens deported from the United States following their convictions for crimes there.

It’s been five years since we launched The Cambodia Daily Khmer — an online platform dedicated to Khmer-language speakers.
The work requires an annual budget of $100,000 to pay reporters, photographers, editors and web hosting fees. Faced with a substantial annual shortfall, we are left with little choice but to ask you, our dedicated readers and supporters, for help. Independent Cambodian voices are now more essential than ever. Please consider giving.
