Cambodia will send 43 soldiers to join the military exercise to be held next month in Mongolia for the peacekeeping mission of the United Nations, local media said on Tuesday.
"Our soldiers will join the military exercise in Mongolia for the peacekeeping mission of UN," Cambodian Defense Minister Tea Banh told reporters Monday.
Cambodia now has about 1,000 soldiers who has been trained for joining UN peacekeeping mission, but the kingdom is always cautious to choose the places where the soldiers will be sent to, he said.
"To some places we should send our soldiers, but some others we can't," he added.
He didn't elaborate on the details of the military exercise in Mongolia.
Cambodia sent 135 deminers to Sudan in 2006 for UN peacekeeping mission and then 139 in June this year to replace the old ones.
