New Delhi, Nov. 11 -- South Korea's foreign minister met Monday with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet to pressure him to suppress burgeoning large-scale online scam operations that have been blamed for the brutal death of a Korean student.

The victim, 22-year-old Park Min-ho, was reportedly lured to Cambodia and forced to work in a scam center before his body was found tortured and beaten in August. His death triggered outrage in South Korea, prompting the government to send a delegation to Phnom Penh for urgent talks.

Foreign Minister Cho Hyun would raise the issue of cooperation to eradicate scam-related crimes in Cambodia and launching a joint police task force, Seoul's Foreign Ministry said.
