Vietnam has agreed to ban its citizens from leasing land in Cambodia to avoid increasing tensions along the border following a request from Prime Minister Hun Sen, according to Interior Minister Sar Kheng.
Kheng on 6 January said that Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung had agreed to a proposal from Prime Minister Hun Sen that would prohibit Vietnam from renting land on the Cambodian side of the border.
