Cambodia’s Brigade 70 ahead of the celebration of its 15th anniversary on Oct 13 vowed to fight any enemies who dare to encroach upon Cambodia’s sovereign territory, according a High-Ranking Cambodia Royal Armed Forces (RCAF) Official on Monday.
Prime Minister Hun Sen will be over the celebrations of Brigade 70.
“Brigade 70 has the responsibility of guarding the Senate president, the National Assembly President, the Ministry of Defense top leaders, Phnom Penh Municipal officials, prevent flooding and to defend sovereignty,” Mao Sophan, Brigade 70 chief, told DAP News Cambodia.
“Separate Brigade 70 sections guard the premier and international visitors to Cambodia,” he added. Pol Sareoun, RCAF chief, said that Brigade 70 is a small part of Cambodia’s army.
Don't internationalise dispute

BANGKOK - THAILAND said on Tuesday that its border dispute with Cambodia should be dealt with through bilateral negotiations, rather than being 'internationalised' at an upcoming regional summit.
Cambodia on Monday proposed neighbouring Thailand put the dispute - which has sparked deadly skirmishes between troops - on the agenda when it hosts this month's summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).
However, a spokesman for the Thai foreign affairs ministry said Cambodia's proposal was based on an inaccurate report in the Thai press. Thai foreign minister Kasit Piromya was reported to have said last week he would seek approval at the ASEAN meeting to establish a neutral body that would help settle the Thai-Cambodia dispute.
But this 'stems from a misquote and something that was taken out of context' from a talk he gave earlier this month on the Thai-Cambodia issue, Thani Thongphakdi of the ministry said.
'Thailand will continue to seek a peaceful resolution of the problem through bilateral negotiations' under the framework of the Thai-Cambodian joint boundary commission, he told AFP. 'As such, we believe this issue should not be internationalised nor raised within the Asean framework.'
