Cambodian authorities to investigate arms trafficking

Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sar Kheng said authorities will further investigate on the illegal arms trafficking in the country. 

Sar Kheng said illegal weapon trafficking is unacceptable in Cambodia.

Cambodia has condemned all illegal weapons trafficking and pledged to take action.

This reaction was raised after Thai authorities made a concern recently on the illegal weapon trafficking in its kingdom.

According to Thai media, Thai authorities had earlier found 29 rifles, four machine guns, a number of grenades and bullets loaded in a pick-up and arrested two Thai and Cambodian men at Trat province of the country.

Sar Kheng called competent authorities to carefully work with their counterparts in Thailand as well as other concerned countries in order to identify the roots source of the arms traffic.
