tasks in the locality, and the role of the local military agencies in giving
advice in socio-economic development in parallel with strengthening security
and defence. They also discussed the organisation and methods of improving
security and defence knowledge for specific groups, along with defence education
for pupils and students, and the popularisation of the issues to the community.
The Cambodian officers also heard about
advantages and difficulties in managing and training reserve and civil defence
forces, as well as measures and experience in building civil defence forces in

agencies of the Military Zone 3, the Ministry of Defence and the Military Command
