Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 24 – The Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation expresses deep disappointment and regret over the unconscientious action of Ek Sawathey, a Cambodian-Australian resident in Sydney, who sent a letter to Australian Trade Minister alleging that the export of Cambodian rice to Australia has violated human rights, fraudulently attempting to prevent the import of rice from Cambodia into the Australian Market.

“The ministry condemns all unscrupulous people who attempt to harm the interests of Cambodian farmers through iniquitous actions and a distortion of facts,” according to the statement of the spokesperson seen by Fresh News on Sunday.
