Cambodia shuts schools because of Hungarian Foreign Minister
Cambodia takes precautionary measures: schools in the capital and surrounding areas will be shut down for two weeks as Hungarian Minister for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Péter Szijjártó tested positive for Covid-19 following his visit to Cambodia last week.
Cambodia’s schools just finally reopened with limited class sizes and hours last Monday, after being closed since March due to the coronavirus situation but according to the statement the Cambodian Education Ministry released on Sunday, as a precautionary measure, public and private schools in Phnom Penh, the capital and the surrounding province of Kandal will have to close again for two weeks, AP reports. Students will continue with online learning, just like they did earlier.
According to the Cambodian Education ministry’s statement, the shutdown is necessary because they do not have enough information on the parents of those students who had direct or indirect contact with Szijjártó during his visit last week.
Szijjártó tested positive on Tuesday upon his arrival to Thailand, and after he visited Cambodia. Before returning to Hungary on Wednesday, he was placed in quarantine, and all his further meetings in Bangkok were cancelled.
Cambodian Prime Minister, Hun Sen announces on Saturday that one of Szijjártó’s Cambodian bodyguards has tested positive for Covid-19. He said, among some 900 people who were part of Szijjártó’s visit, the one bodyguard was the only one to test positive.
Hun Sen and four Cambodian cabinet ministers are also in quarantine now after they met Szijjártó on the same day he tested positive. As Hun Sen said, he has tested negative and will strictly follow his country’s coronavirus guidelines and quarantine for fourteen days.
Meanwhile, the Hungarian Foreign Minister has been in quarantine for seven days now, but he has not stopped working. Szijjártó keeps the public informed through his social media; in today’s’ Facebook video diary he mentioned, he is still experiencing symptoms: “I currently feel like I have proper flu but I hope it won’t get any more serious than this”.

Investors have to read Khmer history – when assessing the supply chain and political risk in Cambodia.
Ultimately,Cambodia will become a SAR of the PRC. dindooohindoo
The Khmer nation was pillaged by looted,by the Thai and Vietnamese Kings. Large tracts of land and treasures, of the Khmer, are with the Thais and Viets.
This is the history of the Khmer,after the 1st invasion of Thais 1000 years ago.Thereafter came the French and Pol Pot and the US-Viet war.
Today the nation and economy and real estate of the Khmer,is owned by the Chinese,Viets and Thais – who hold KHMER PASSPORTS.
The Viets have taken over Khmer land and timber ( as a compensation for the war on the Khmer Rouge), There are millions of Viets settled in Khmer land – as traders – and not manufacturers or industrialists. They are also the hidden voters of Hun Sen and the eyes and ears of Viet Intelligence in Khmer land.
Hoon Sen has not raised the issue of the millions of Viet, in Khmer land – as they vote for him ! And Hoon Sen has not raised Khmer Krom with the Viet govtt, ever – not the land seized by the Viets !
Y ? Hoon Sen is a Viet spy and stooge.The Viet intel have dirt on Hoon Sen – w.r.t his work with Pol Pot and his collaboration with Viet Intel – when he was with the Khmer Rouge – and his extra-marital affairs, rapes,murders and mistresses.
The Viet contribution to the nation of the Khmer is Nil and if the Khmer cannot do, what the Viets do – then the Khmer do not deserve a nation.Even the Rubber and timber goes back to Vietnam for processing.
The Thais are on the Thai-Khmer border with rice mills and other industries,which run on the concessional power sold by the Thai Grid.Inspite of that,the marginal Thai Population is settled only near the border areas
The Chinese have built the infra,ports,SEZ,roads and whatever little industry exists in Khmer land.Like in Thailand – the Han Chinese control the trade, commerce, manufacturing etc.Even in so called Muslim nations like Indon-ass-eeah, all that works, from Railways to bureaucracy is due to the Han Chinese
In essence, THE KHMER ARE SLAVES TO THE VIETS,THAI AND CHINESE.
Once Hun Sen dies,the Viets,Thai and Chinese will try to instal the son of Hun Sen – and if the Khmer people revolt (courtesy the CIA etc.),they will target the Viets in Cambodia,There are millions of Viets in Cambodia
That is Civil war – it is an inevitable,as is the death of Hun Sen.
