US says denied full access to Cambodia naval base during visit

PHNOM PENH, June 11 (Reuters): The US embassy in Phnom Penh said on Friday evening (June 11) that its defence attaché had been refused full access to Cambodia's largest naval base during an invited visit, just days after Washington expressed concern about China's military activities at the base.

While on a trip to Cambodia on June 1, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman raised questions about China's military presence at the Ream Naval Base and asked for clarification about the demolition of U.S.-funded buildings there.
