President Obama in Cambodia
With a large part of Lowell’s population either from Cambodia or of Cambodian descent, we should pay particular attention to the first-ever visit to Cambodia by a sitting U.S. President. Here are some stories about the visit from that region’s media:
From the Phnomh Penh Post: “Obama’s meeting with Cambodia’s Prime Minister described as tense.”
Cambodia Daily:
“Obama Presses Hun Sen on Human Rights”
“Obama in No Position to Teach Cambodia About Human Rights”
Bangkok Post: “Obama Arrives in Cambodia”
In the picture with the President and Prime Minister Hun Sen you can tell that Obama does not want to shake his hand. There are no pictures of them standing together shaking hands in any official photo.
