More to come.
That's the cooperation for the near future.
Thank you for the warm welcome.
Thank you. Thank you. This is beautiful.
Appreciate it. Thank you.
And it is our privilege and our honor
to be here as the first U.S. naval vessel
to moor Pearside at Ream Naval Base.
And we hope this is the beginning
of a long-standing tradition and friendship.
And we look forward to working with you
over the next five days
to continue our great friendship and partnership.
Thank you.
This is the first time that a U.S. naval vessel
has been able to moor here.
Now we have returned to meet again
with the U.S. Navy
and wait for them to come back next year.
And this is not just a U.S. naval vessel.
This is a world-class vessel
that wants to join in
with the Cambodian Navy.
The Cambodian government
has allowed it to enter
whenever it wants to.
I would like to clarify
that we are working hard
to build this vessel
so that it can be used
by those who want to join
the Cambodian Navy.
So we can do it.
We have been waiting for a long time
for the U.S. Navy to enter.
Not only the U.S. Navy,
but also the Japanese and Vietnamese
who want to join the Cambodian Navy.
We have been waiting for a long time.
