Getting down to business
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PHNOM PENH (Reuter) - Japanese military officers dressed in business suits arrived in Cambodia yesterday to plan the deployment of the first troops to be sent overseas by Tokyo since the Second World War.
Japan is expected to send between 500 and 700 engineers to rebuild roads and bridges in a country wrecked by more than two decades of political turmoil and war. They will join more than 15,000 soldiers from other nations already deployed under the banner of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC).
The delegation will stay in Cambodia until 19 August.
