PHNOM PENH: After long refraining from commenting on the border reopening issue, Senate president Hun Sen broke his silence on Tuesday (Sept 23), via social media.

He firmly stated Cambodia’s position, saying that it will not beg Thailand to reopen the border, adding that “even if Thailand keeps it closed for another 100 years, it will not be a problem for Cambodia”.
