U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin traveled to Cambodia on Tuesday to push for stronger military ties with China’s closest ally in Southeast Asia.
Austin met his Cambodian counterpart, Tea Seiha, and Prime Minister Hun Manet during a one-day visit to Phnom Penh, Cambodia's Defense Ministry said in a statement. It said Austin's visit would strengthen the ongoing good cooperation between the countries that has lasted more than 70 years.
