In Brief: PM cancels trip to pursat

Prime

Minister Hun Sen has canceled a trip to Pursat scheduled for Tuesday

due to bad weather. The PM had planned to open a water irrigation

plant, but was warned by the Minister of Water Resources and

Meteorology to postpone his trip because the area has experienced rain

and electrical storms, which have destroyed homes in Pailin and other

provinces. Hun Sen said he will reschedule the trip to Pursat province

for Saturday.
