Cambodia

VICALSN, the Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos Support Network, started in 1989, as the Vietnam Action and Information Network (VAIN) and later expanded to include Cambodia and Laos.  At that time very little was known here about these three countries.  Relations between them and NZ consisted of formal diplomatic ties through embassies in Canberra and Bangkok, and we wanted to interest New Zealanders in their progress, their problems, and what we could do to help.
