Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen denies claims that the upcoming navigation canal project in Cambodia could allow Chinese naval ships to enter the Mekong River. The canal is seen as a key economic artery for the country's growth.
BANGKOK - Cambodia n Senate President Hun Sen on April 9 denied recent suggestions that an upcoming navigation canal project through the country’s south could facilitate the entry of Chinese naval ships up the Mekong River .
Construction of the project, which connects Kandal, Takeo, Kampot and Kep provinces, is expected to be carried out by Chinese companies under a build-operate-transfer arrangement. This would allow them to manage and profit from its operations for some 50 years in return for funding the project. “The locks on the Funan Techo Canal can create the necessary water depths for military vessels to enter from the Gulf of Thailand, or from Ream Naval Base, and travel deep into Cambodia and approach the border,” it said.has denied allegations that it has allowed the Chinese navy to use it as a base.
Decades of dam-building and other uncontrolled development in the Mekong River have accelerated saline intrusion in the downstream rice production area.Hanoi has largely avoided commenting directly on the Cambodia canal project, though Cambodian media reported that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet tried to assuage Vietnamese concern about it when he visited Hanoi in December 2023.
