Sean Pengse frequently criticized Cambodia's policy on border demarcation with Vietnam, saying the government did not comply with the Paris Peace Agreement
WASHINGTON DC —
A respected scholar and former minister who became an expert on Cambodia’s border affairs has died. He was 82.
Sean Pengse founded the Cambodian Border Committee (CBC) in 1999 to monitor the demarcation of Cambodia’s borders and led the organization until his death on Tuesday.
Dy Kareth, CBC vice-president, said his death was a “huge loss to all members” of the organization.
Pengse was the minister of industry, mines, and handicrafts under the U.S.-backed Khmer Republic and head of a delegation that negotiated on border issues with Vietnam until 1974. He moved to France before the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975.
“He was the most important mapping expert,” said Kareth. “He prepared land and sea maps mostly by himself with some participation from some specialists from France. There was involvement from senior government officials, but he was the one leading the process.”
