Seeing off the soldiers at the Phnom Penh International Airport , Prak Sokhon, Secretary of State for the Council of Ministers and chairman of the National Coordination Committee of the United Nations Peacekeeping Operation, said that the exercise would be a good chance for Cambodian troops to learn from senior military trainers from the US , Indonesia , and the UN.
