PHNOM PENH, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Defense Ministry has appointed a spokesman for facilitating work in providing the military information to foreign and local media, local media reported on Thursday.

General Tea Bah, deputy prime minister and national defense minister, appointed Chhom Socheat, a three-star General and under-secretary of state for Defense Ministry as spokesman for the ministry, the Khmer Language newspaper Rasmei Kampuchea quoted the statement from Defense Ministry as saying.

"In the past, events especially the information about military actions such as the actions at areas near Preah Vihear temple were classified as a sensational information and have not been provided clearly and accurately," Chhom Socheat said.

"And from now on, we will provide information from ministry and welcome questions from foreign and local media," Chhom said.
