PHNOM PENH, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Forty-two Cambodian soldiers, including five females, will be sent to participate in the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) multinational training exercise in Nepal for two weeks, a senior military official said on Friday.

Gen. Sem Sovanny, director-general of the Cambodian National Center for Peacekeeping Force, said that the group will leave Cambodia for the exercise on March 19 and will return on April 4.

"It is a good opportunity for our troops to share experience with their peers from other countries about strategies in peacekeeping," he said.

He added that the exercise will focus on patrol, cordon and search, check point, convoy and escort, safeguarding a humanitarian distribution site, and disarmament and demobilization.

The exercise will be led by the Nepalese Army and sponsored by the U.S. Pacific Command.
