Hor Namhong censures Ambassador to S Korea
Foreign Minister Hor Namhong has written a letter to the newly appointed Cambodian ambassador to South Korea to censure him over the alleged involvement of his family members in embassy affairs. In the letter, dated Monday, Mr. Namhong warns Ambassador Suth Dina not to allow his relatives to interfere at the embassy. … Mr. Namhong is the father of the Cambodian ambassador to Japan and the former ambassador to Great Britain, while another one of his sons is a permanent secretary-general at the Foreign Affairs Ministry. … Mr. Dina pointed out in his response that he has in fact taken pains to stamp out corruption in the embassy. “I have announced publicly that I stopped [the illegal receipt] of cash payment or commissions to make any documents or passport and so on,” he wrote. The issue has come up repeatedly among migrant workers in South Korea, who have complained that the embassy was illicitly soliciting money from them. …
