    India-Cambodia Relations India-Cambodia relations go back to the 1st century AD when Hindu and Buddhist religious and cultural influences emanated out of India to various parts of South-East Asia. Cambodians are today predominantly Buddhist but retain a strong influence of Hindu rituals, idolatry and mythology. The pervading influence of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Indian architecture are borne out by the magnificent structures at Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon, Ta Phrom and other religious and historical sites in Cambodia. India-Cambodia bilateral relations are warm and cordial. In the 1950s, India was associated with the International Control Commission on Indo-China. After the collapse of the Khmer Rouge regime, India recognized the new government and opened its Embassy in Phnom Penh in 1981 when much of the world shunned Cambodia. This factor along with India’s association with the Paris Peace Accords and their finalization in 1991 is fondly remembered by the Cambodian leadership. India also committed military and non-military personnel for the conduct of the UNTAC-sponsored elections in 1993. India was one of the original contributors to UN de-mining operations in Cambodia. Furthermore, Government of India responded to an appeal by Cambodian Government to undertake the conservation of the famous Angkor Wat temple during the period 1986 to 1993 at a cost of US$ 4 million, at a time when peace in the country was yet to be settled. Contemporary times have witnessed expansion of cooperation in diverse fields such as institutional capacity building, human resource development, and extension of financial assistance in infrastructure projects, security and defence.

Witness Suong Sikoeun – an intellectual who returned to Cambodia from abroad during the Khmer Rouge period – continued his testimony today with questioning from lawyers for Nuon Chea and Ieng Sary. Witness Sa Siek began her testimony before the Trial Chamber, when she was questioned in the afternoon by the prosecution. Ieng Sary observed the day’s proceedings from a holding cell, while Nuon Chea retired to a holding cell after the morning session. Nuon Chea Defense Resumes Examination of Suong Sikoeun International Co-Lawyer for Nuon Chea Jasper Pauw began the day’s questioning of witness Suong Sikoeun by again referring to a telegram from the United States embassy in Phnom Penh to the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C., in September 1971. Mr. Pauw quoted from Mr. Sikoeun’s August 8 testimony that FUNK (National United Front of Kampuchea) was a political organization with a central committee and a politburo of the central committee, of which Pen Nouth was chairman. In response to a query from Mr. Pauw, Mr. Sikoeun confirmed that Keat Chhon was a candidate member of the FUNK politburo in 1971. Mr. Pauw said Keat Chhon was one of several people with asterisks next to their names who, according to the telegram, had been “dared by Prince Sihanouk to form a government” in the 1960s.
