Vietnamese, not Khmer, leaders realized, they would have to end their military presence in Cambodia.
The United States and its Asian allies have cut off or severely limited economic ties with Vietnam which add serious problem to Vietnam's internal economic problems because of its occupation of Cambodia. Lt. Gen. Le Kha Phieu, the former deputy commander in chief of Vietnamese forces in Cambodia, told a press conference in 1989 that 55,000 Vietnamese troops had died in the Cambodian conflict since 1977. As late as 2008, there was still effort to repatriate the remains of Vietnamese invaders who killed on Cambodian soil. Vietnam got involved in Cambodia primarily for Vietnamese reasons -- just as it was getting out primarily for Vietnamese reasons.
