This blog is created regarding to the revealing of Vietnamese's plan to form Vietnam, Cambodia and Lao Confederation or Vietcamlao Federation Republic in its abbreviation. Of course, we have suspected and anticipated the submerging plan of Vietnamese leaders to unite former Indochina Federation since the end of cold war, but we have never received any official plan or paper Vietnamese people and their leaders wrote about it. Now, after screening the whole page of preamble and federation article, I am struck by two aspects: is this individual Vietnamese effort aimed to draw attention from the public, or is this the leaking information from the Vietnamese government? We might not completely be able to seek for the true intention of publicizing this information, but what we can understand is the theme of the document ultimately coinciding with doubts Cambodian people have always been skeptical about.
This blog is named Vietcamlao Federation Republic in order to emphasize the intent of the founder to search more comprehensive understanding, and he plans to conduct in-dept research and diffusing public opinion to ably judge and comprehend this federation formation.
We, Cambodians, are not free of losing national sovereignty if this attempt is achieved. However, without having proper in-dept research about this plan, we might be easily entrapped or lost.
Next step, we will re-compile the document in Vietnamese, English and translate it into Khmer. After that, we will conduct a research combining with both qualitative and quantitative. Literature review will be needed and public survey will be conducted to arguably debate this issue.
I hope this study will be an eye-opening for analytical thinking for all Cambodians.
In Solidarity,
Sophan S.
