    Preparations are underway in Phnom Penh for ceremonies marking what Hanoi says is the biggest partial withdrawal of Vietnamese troops from Kampuchea in a decade. Vietnam says that it will complete a partial withdrawal of 50,000 troops by the end of this month. The 500,000 troops that remain will be organised into regiments and will be pulled out by the end of March 1990.

    At a news conference in Phnom Penh, Kampuchean Prime Minister, Hun Sen said that the world should no longer question Vietnamese troops in Kampuchea. He said as the troops are being pulled out, questions should instead be asked about foreign support for the Khmer Rouge.
