Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 20 - The United States urged Cambodia to continue searching for the American soldiers' deceased bodies during the war, while Cambodia requested the U.S to cancel visa restrictions.

Both requests were made in a meeting between Cambodian Minister of Foreign Affairs Prak Sokhonn and Rodney Frelinghuysen, the U.S. Representative for New Jersey's 11th congressional district, held at Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Phnom Penh on Tuesday.

Minister Prak Sokhonn confirmed that Cambodia will resume exploration if the visa restrictions of Cambodian Foreign Ministry officials were lifted, according to ministry's spokesman Chum Sounry.

In September 2017, PM Hun Sen has announced to suspend cooperation with the United States over the search for 80 American soldiers’ bodies deceased in Cambodian territory, in which 40 were found so far.

The premier's announcement came after the United States announced the suspension of Visa (B1 and B2) for Foreign Ministry officials.
