CAMBODIA Cambodia

Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday ordered the justice ministry to amend the constitution to bar holders of the country’s top posts, including the prime minister, from being citizens of other nations. The regulation is intended “to show loyalty to the nation and avoid foreign interference”, he said. The remarks by the long-serving strongman came days after a report in The Guardian newspaper named him as one of thousands of non-Europeans holding Cypriot passports, citing information from the Pandora Papers international investigation into the massive offshore economy. Lawyers for the Cambodian government said the report was false and Hun Sen has only Cambodian citizenship.
