Six Cambodian cadets who are studying at four US military academies – including the prestigious and storied West Point – may have to quit their courses of study soon as their US government scholarships are ending due to Cambodia’s loss of eligibility for the US military service academy programme.
“Following Cambodia’s curtailment of cooperation in several areas of traditional bilateral military-military engagement, the country lost its eligibility for the US military service academy program,” said Arend Zwartjes, the US embassy spokesman in Phnom Penh.
“As a reflection of their good academic standing, however, Cambodian students currently enrolled at military service academies are permitted to complete their undergraduate programs,” he noted.

It was the first time the 30-nation military bloc so overtly directed harsh language of that nature at China in an official publication.
