Seng Phengserey, the commander of Airport Engineering Squadron 729 who is still serving in Mali on the peacekeeping operation, also sent the Chivoan family a letter of sympathy.
“Major Phoeuk Chivoan’s passing causes the RCAF to lose a valuable human resource as well as a good spouse, parent, and employee. Lieutenant Colonel Chivoan is a valiant example of a global peacekeeper and made a priceless sacrifice for the country “said he.
According to Chivoan’s widow Vong Srey Touch, Chivoan’s body was burned on the evening of March 1 with the help of NPMEC leaders and top Ministry of National Defence officials.
