"Mr. Secretary-General, there are new hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose freedom and independence we seek just as avidly as we sought thefreedom and independence of Afghanistan. We urge the rapid removal of all Vietnamese troops ...." CAMBODIA OCCUPIED BY VIETNAM 1979-2008 in violations of the UN charter and 10 UN resolutions And here we have this :AKP/01 Cambodian King Convenes the First Meeting of Parliamentary Members Phnom Penh, September 10, 2008 AKP -- His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni has officially convened 123 newly-elected parliamentary members to hold the first meeting of the fourth-ever National Assembly as scheduled on Sept. 24. King’s invitation letters were recently sent to all the political parties, which have the National Assembly’s seats. The king shall convene 123 newly-elected members of the parliament to hold the first meeting of the fourth-ever National Assembly, said Cheam Yeap, a member of parliament from the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), referring to an article 76 of the Kingdom’s Constitution. If any parliamentary members from the Sam Rainsy Party and the Human Rights Party boycott the parliament gathering, they will have to take responsibility for themselves, he said. According to the Kingdom’s Constitution, following the fourth meeting of the National Assembly chaired by His Majesty the King, the National Assembly will proceed to conduct a meeting under the presidency of the oldest Member of Parliament, who is expected to be Chea South from CPP, aged more than 80, with a support by five youngest members of the National Assembly, served as secretaries. According to the final official results of the National Election Committee (NEC), the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) won 90 seats, the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) 26, the Human Rights Party (HRP) 3, the Funcinpec Party 2, and the Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP) 2 seats. --AKP (By Mr. THOU Peou) THE FACTS IGNORED BY KING SIHAMONI .1. Cheam Yeap,( VIETNAMESE ) a member of parliament from the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), referring to an article 76 of the Kingdom’s Constitution. HOW MANY VIETNAMESE LIKE CHEAM YEAP , WEARING THE CPP "CAMBODIAN " LABEL as Parliamentary Members that this King ignores ?2. this similar wrong view expressed by a US senator as follows : Dear Mr. Keo:"As you probably know, Prime Minister Hun Sen was declared the winner of Cambodia’s recent elections, and the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CCP) won a total of 90 out of 123 possible seats. This year’s elections were monitored by international observers, including 47 teams from the U.S. embassy. As you mentioned in your letter, observers identified problems involving CCP domination over the airwaves, particularly among private television stations, and over voter access to polling stations. However, observers also reported considerable improvements compared to previous elections in Cambodia, and they commended efforts to reconcile local election complaints by the National Election Committee and to eliminate hundreds of thousands of "ghost voters" from the voter registration list. I believe that the U.S. should continue to do what it can to ensure that any unresolved problems with the Cambodian elections are addressed, and I will continue to support policies that keep Cambodia on a steady path toward improving transparency and accountability in government, strengthening civil society, and reducing corruption.Thank you again for keeping me advised of your views. Let’s stay in touch.Sincerely,Sheldon" THAT PRESENTLY CAMBODIA REMAINS OCCUPIED BY VIETNAM against 10 UN resolutions calling Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia.

(Photo courtesy: AP Photo/Heng Sinith) 1 of 2 PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA: Cambodian government and military officials took a rare tour of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier when it sailed through the region on its way home from Iraq, embassy officials said Thursday (11 Sept). It was the first tour by Cambodian officials of a U.S. aircraft carrier and "another step in the growing military to military relationship" between the two countries, said embassy spokesman John Johnson. The Cambodian delegation was flown by a U.S. military aircraft from the capital, Phnom Penh, for a four-hour visit Wednesday (10 Sept) on the vessel, which was about 250 miles off the Cambodian coast, Johnson said. Cambodia's army commander, Gen. Meas Sophea, called the tour "a very special occasion," in a prepared statement. Mao Has Vannal, head of Cambodian's civil aviation authority, said he'd only seen such military capabilities on television. "On the return flight, we took off under the force of the catapult system shooting the plane up into the air," he said Thursday. "It was so real compared to what we used to see on the Discovery Channel." The tour was the latest sign of growing relations between the two countries. In February, the USS Gary, a guided missile frigate with 200 officers and crew, was the first American military vessel to dock at a Cambodian seaport in more than 30 years. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military heavily bombed suspected communist guerrilla strongholds in Cambodia. The U.S. backed Cambodia's 1970s military regime led by General Lon Nol until it was toppled by Khmer Rouge rebels. Eighteen U.S. soldiers were killed fighting Khmer Rouge forces on Koh Tang, a Cambodian island in the Gulf of Thailand, in May 1975. (AP) Psssst...Have you heard the news?
