PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA
Cambodia’s Defence Minister Tea Banh said the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces will postpone the annual Golden Dragon infantry exercise with the Chinese army because of the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of preparations in the aftermath of the October floods.
Tea Banh first made the announcement on Monday when he was at an inaugural ceremony for a live-fire training facility with Chinese Ambassador Wang Wentian.
