Speaking in the garden of the Raffles Hotel on Tuesday afternoon, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the “urgent challenge” of countering extremism, building business ties and seeing Cambodia become a thriving democracy were at the top of his agenda during his daylong visit to Phnom Penh.
Mr. Kerry, whose trip to Cambodia comes ahead of the February U.S.-Asean summit in Sunnylands, California, described his morning meetings with Prime Minister Hun Sen and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong as being “candid and constructive.”
