Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam: The Economic Triangle and the Modern-Day Indochina Federation

Anjiakhemar | Eastern Abhiññā

‘Klaw.’: What is ‘khuekha’ hun manat?

Hit very hard! I mean this, finally reached this point.

What? It is a tripartite cooperation convention. Or the vision of the “economic triangle” between the 3 countries Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. In Thai, I call it “Klaw.” (CLV)

It reminds me of the Indochina Federation. As for the past concept of Vietnam after the completion of the reunification of North and South, it came from the principles of the three Communist Parties of Indochina. and if someone skilled remembers It goes all the way back to the French-Indochina colonial period!

No, this is just the residual plane of state discourse. (But it also reverses the idea) and it is not about the 3rd country that caused civil war for these 3 countries, but today. The day the Lao-Vietnamese Brotherhood and former socialist-communist Cambodia It has become a tripartite cooperation in economic cooperation based on the new social order of free trade.

It is not a “trap” from the past. It has disappeared and nothing remains There are only 3 sister countries from the word “CLW/CLV” alone.

But is it true?

Who would have thought that Just a few decades after the United States left, China soon walked in and made economic progress in many projects under the term “Belt and Road” or BRI until it spread its wings to’ both. Lao PDR and Cambodia

This is the same story that made Hun Sen forget the Communist Party of Hanoi ever since.

Loss of influence in this sub-region considerably. But Vietnam has adapted well. After a long period of direct and indirect benefits from Cambodia (and Laos), the old pre-Cold War cooperation came to an abrupt end. Because the political landscape and the development of the neighboring countries have changed

As follows, just one year before the millennium (1999/1999), Vietnam had a new influence on the two countries of the former Indochina Federation with the so-called “Economic Triangle” project.

But Vietnam does not have enough money to attract Cambodia, which needs foreign money to build many projects in the country.

With a little money, Ri Read will continue to be like “Toey” in the past. Apparently, as follows, around 2010, Vietnam created a network connecting the Cambodian border routes in different provinces such as Ratanakiri – Mondulkiri, namely 2 of the 4 states according to the “KO W” agreement (to be able to connect the network in accordance with the ASEAN agreement)

I guess less money doesn’t matter because when I was “Toey” in Vietnam, I used to do this. That is, send an army of engineers to build roads for Cambodia all the way to Rattanakiri Province. (And Mondulkiri too?)

Cambodian government Apparently familiar with this issue, it is not unusual for the Chinese army to attack the Cambodian navy. Because Vietnam also does this often. Until they were accused by the Khmerians of trying to occupy their land!

Paranoia of national assimilation as Vietnamese policy still haunts Cambodia. No matter how many times have passed, Samdech Hun Sen is so used to this accusation that he is almost indifferent or “huh huh” to raise it in order to discuss and solve any problems.

But suddenly after Vietnam withdrew its engineering troops, Cambodian leaders also announced a policy for tourism zones. “Rattanakiri-Monthon Kiri” as if raising a flag to stop the advance from Hanoi because this is the agreement that Cambodia made with the Chinese authorities!

Is it a war to be a “Bong Thom” or a protector of Cambodia? So, although China is not ready yet. But definitely the future Huge benefits of Chinese products will flow to this region. Vietnam is a great helper. to expand the Chinese trade zone even more compared to Cambodia and Laos

Importantly, these are the “extraterritorial rights” of Laos-Cambodia. that Vietnam and China know well There are no permanent friends or enemies in war and trade. Phrases that work well all the time This is the reason why So “Economic Triangle” went to a small meeting in Beijing on BRI/2023.

And why the Trilateral-Sub-Regional-Secretary Meeting? So it happened there. Like President Xi Jinping’s visit to Vietnam. Just one day behind Prime Minister Hun Manat.

Because Vietnam is always in the relationship equation with Beijing. Although the BRI meeting is outside the 3 country round there. Brother Uai, Indochina like Vietnam (W) will be “downgraded” in importance, as can be seen from “L” (Lao PDR) who has turned to praise Hun Manat that Cambodia (K) has the potential in Can you travel and that there is a center for developing NWA?

Lu Kiattisi is like a big brother and has taken care of each other. Only go this far! But no, Vietnam should adapt to the context of the future to come. And Laos itself supports Cambodia in all forms more than any country in the sub-region, be it Thailand or Vietnam. Haven’t you noticed?

“Although it is a small country, it is far from the heart of Thailand” (but it has a big heart) that was the slogan of “Khmer-Laos” during the last year.

Vietnam should not assume that is the main party in the three economic triangle Or any other issues now?

and he should be aware of that The influence of Indochina Communist Party policies in Vietnam in the past It has completely ceased.

And that was as soon as Hun Manat visited Hanoi after the Ministry of Defense announced cooperation. The people of Cambodia were shocked and their hair stood on end. It is feared that Cambodia will give citizenship opportunities to Vietnamese who settle in the 4 provinces of Klaw, and this is something that the Khmer people cannot accept.

Today, to what extent is Cambodia at a disadvantage to Vietnam in terms of trade? Yet Hanoi continues to pressure Phnom Penh to protect its citizens who come to work illegally in Cambodia. The economic triangle agreement with China supports Cambodia to be a leader in the region Vietnam is even more economically developed along its borders.

And the self-liberation of each party, whether it is the Indochina Federation that Vietnam maintains or the Lao PDR-Cambodia that wants to carve this yoke by all possible means.

This political world Hun Manat himself has carried on his shoulders since he was a young man. Oh father who was branded a “puppet” of Hanoi until he came to power Still being insulted like that The need to get rid of this long standing relief It will never happen. If Cambodia does not have a strong reserve

There is no mission as challenging as “Klaw”!

Seriously, since his father’s time. In each of Hun Sen’s visits to Hanoi in the past four decades, Cambodia needs to make Vietnam a top priority. Until the time of Mr Hun Manat’s son he came to see that Vietnam was finally the first country that the leader of the Khmer had to visit.

Although it was seen that Hun Manat had previously met with the top leaders of Vietnam on almost every different occasion. Except for the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who does not travel abroad, which is why before going to Hanoi, Hun Manat became the “vice president” of the Cambodian People’s Party after Samdech Hun Sen, calling him to have equal status with Hanoi . who held a welcoming ceremony with Beijing-like dignity

Hun Manat is indeed remembered in Hanoi unlike his father, Hun Sen. in public expression and acceptance or finally succeeded from the leadership of the former Indochina Federation?

Transfer has already taken place. Cambodian leader Hun Manat stood up straighter and more dignified than his father. In the dignity and dignity of the body language in the past meeting with Vietnamese leaders

After spending a long time trying, Cambodia has now succeeded?

Confession: My memories are getting smaller and smaller. For that paranoia Lost time watching the Hun family and Hanoi. Even in political and individual matters.

Issues that can prove that he is not a “puppet” like his father, and why is this issue so important? To erase people’s feelings, would Hun Manat notice why he was bullied since he was a child?

Manat needs to fight the issue of the Hun family as puppets of Hanoi. It is a difficult task for him.

But at the same time, no matter how much success the Manat Cabinet creates for the country, But it will never win the hearts of the Khmer people except through hatred. And this is the only link he should remove from his father’s past. that he will fix it no matter what

It sounds simple, that is, doing everything contrary to what Hun Sen’s father created and tantamount to committing patriarchal murder. “Anantariyakarma” own father?

And who wouldn’t…scam?
