PHNOM PENH - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday dismissed a threat from the European Union to halt special trade privileges with the Southeast Asian country over human rights, saying Britain’s exit from the bloc will ease the pain of sanctions.
The EU has threaten to suspend the Everything But Arms trade scheme with Cambodia after a European Commission report found that Hun Sen’s government has cracked down on the opposition, civil society groups and the media.“I don’t care, if want to do whatever, do it,” Hun Sen said in a speech at a university graduation ceremony in the capital Phnom Penh.
“We are watching Brexit because of total exports to the European Union, we export the most to England,” Hun Sen said. The European Union accounts for nearly half of Cambodia’s exports, with Germany being the largest export market for Cambodia, taking roughly 11 percent of its goods, while Britain is the second largest, buying over 8 percent of goods from the Southeast Asian country, official data shows.
