PHNOM PENH, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia is to provide free-of-charge live broadcast rights to local and overseas TV networks for the upcoming 32nd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games and the 12th ASEAN Para Games.

The government will also give free admission to both local and overseas spectators, including opening and closing ceremonies as well as all competition events, the statement added.
The move was made during a cabinet meeting under the presidency of Prime Minister Samdech Samdech Techo Hun Sen, it said.
Cambodia will host the SEA Games for the first time in 64 years from May 5 to 17. The Morodok Techo National Stadium in a northern suburb of the capital Phnom Penh will be the centerpiece venue for official opening and closing ceremonies, and tournaments.
