Death of kidnapped South Korean student spurs talks with Cambodia to tackle online scams

South Korean and Cambodian officials have met to address online scams after a South Korean student died in Cambodia. The student was reportedly trafficked and forced to work in a scam center. A South Korean delegation visited Phnom Penh for talks with Cambodian officials, including Prime Minister Hun Manet. The scam industry in Cambodia has outraged South Koreans, with an estimated 200,000 people, including 1,000 South Koreans, working in scam sites. The South Korean delegation seeks the repatriation of its nationals involved in scams and the return of the student's remains. Talks focused on joint efforts to combat transnational crimes.
