PHNOM PENH: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Tuesday (Feb 4) he will visit Cambodian students in the Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicentre of an outbreak of a new coronavirus, to give them moral support following criticism of his decision not to repatriate them.
The outbreak has killed more than 420 people, most of them in the central Chinese province of Hubei, of which Wuhan is capital, and many countries have been sending aircraft to bring their citizens out and cutting travel links with China.
Hun Sen, a close ally of China, said he would fly there on Wednesday from South Korea, where he is attending a summit, and that he had informed Chinese authorities of his trip.
He said in a post on his Facebook page he would visit the students to "to show them warmth and to make sure they are not scared of the new type of infectious coronavirus".
Cambodia, which has a large community of expatriate Chinese people, reported its single case of the virus last week, a Chinese man who came with his family from Wuhan to the coastal city of Sihanoukville last month.
Last week, Hun Sen said the coronavirus was under control in Cambodia despite public fears.
He also said Cambodia would allow flights from China and would not evacuate Cambodian students and diplomats, sparking public criticism that he was not doing enough to help them.

Khmer people should understand Ah Khmer traitor Hun Sen's ulterior motive behind his willingness to go to Wu Han, China: Ah Hun Sen knew that his regime will be in deep trouble after the EU cut the EBA and the US cut the GSP.
Therefore, he will need China's support for his government. He doesn't want China to abandon him. To prove to China that he is a good friend for China, he is not going to abandon China while China is facing with the CORONA virus. For this reason, he pretends to show China that Hun Sen is a good friend, Hun Sen will go to Wuhan in spite of the danger stemmed from the Virus.
Hun Sen wanted China to stay with him when there is no EBA and no GSP. And that the main reason why he wanted to go to Wuhan.
In brief, Ah Norouk Hun Sen will do whatever it takes at the expense of Cambodia and Khmer people's interest to hold on to power. This asshole Hun Sen is not a brave man; he has given in to all Yuon's demands in exchange for his power. At this time, he just wants China not to leave him when the horrible effects of NO EBA and NO GSP kick in.
