Despite being granted the authorisation they requested, the US embassy in Phnom Penh has not confirmed when its officials would pay a visit to the under-renovation Ream Naval Base.
US government officials and western media sources have frequently speculated that there was Chinese military presence at the base, an assertion that Cambodia has repeatedly denied.
US speculation regarding China’s alleged military activities at the naval base has been the subject matter of several high level talks in recent US-Cambodia relations on top of trade, democracy and human rights.
During a half-day visit to the Kingdom on June 1, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy R Sherman also brought up the subject. She called on Cambodia to allow foreign embassy attaches to visit the naval base, according to US embassy spokesman Chad Roedemeier.
