Southeast Asian Interest
Another red-letter event:
Wednesday, August 15 [editor's note: Wednesday?!]
"U.S.-Korea Security Relationship" featuring General Charles C. Campbell, commanding general of U.S. Army Forces Command at Ft. McPherson
WHEN: 11:45 a.m.
WHO: The Korea-Southeast U.S. Chamber of Commerce
WHERE: Korea Garden Restaurant, Pinetree Plaza, 5181 Buford Highway
COST: $30 per person
MORE INFO: RSVP to John Lee 770-452-0366
The Korean hosts are probably setting the agenda to his role as Chief of Staff, United Nations Command, Combined Forces Command, and United States Forces Korea. But we'd rather ask about Cambodia.
Campbell's bio says he was a teacher at "Forces Armeé National Khmere Training Command, Army Advisory Group, Phouc Tuy Training Battalion, United States Army, Vietnam." The school might have been in Vietnam(?), but FANK is the Cambodian army under Lon Nol.
In other news, the Malaysian Independence Day gala is tomorrow night (11th) at the Sheraton downtown. According to the Malaysian Association of Georgia website, they're doing things up. The Malaysian ambassador will be there and so will 10 media outlets, they say. They issued a press release, but as non-accredited media, AG doesn't have a copy. Or a media invite to the $60 per head dinner.
An Goh, VP of the MAG is the only Malaysian to make the Georgia Asian Times list of 25 most influential Asians in Georgia. ¶ 11:19 PM
