The U.S. coastal combat ship USS Cincinnati docked at the Ream Naval Base on Cambodia’s southern coast, marking the first American vessel to arrive since China finished renovation work at the facility. Renovations, which began in 2022, had raised concerns in the West that the base might serve exclusively Chinese military interests. The Cambodian government rejected those claims, insisting the base is open to all nations and emphasizing that the U.S. ship’s visit demonstrates a commitment to transparent policies with international partners.
