Diplomacy, ASEAN and the KR past Wednesday, 17 June 2009 Written by Roger Mitton The Phnom Penh Post Balancing a career in diplomacy When it comes to diplomacy, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hor Namhong has been Prime Minister Hun Sen's most trusted confidant for many years. He may be 74 now, and he may yearn to take a break, but Hun Sen wants him to stay put. It's hard not to understand why, given the way Hor Namhong has guided Cambodia through the minefields of foreign relations and border disputes. But do not expect to catch Hor Namhong embracing the wine-sipping social whirl aspect of diplomacy. This career veteran is something of a loner and enjoys nothing more than a solitary round of golf, breathing fresh air as his mind sails free from affairs of state.Foreign Minister Hor Namhong speaks his mind to the Post's Roger Mitton. After 10 years in ASEAN, what has Cambodia got out of it? For geopolitical and economic reasons, we could not afford to stay out. We are not a big country, but when we joined ASEAN, we became a member of an important association that is recognised by the international community. As a result, we have been approached by many countries about international issues, and it has enhanced our ties with big powers like the United States, Russia, China, Japan, Korea and the European Union. Is Cambodia a democracy? It is, but remember, democracy is an issue of mindset. And changing the mindset of people can be difficult. So ... we need to go step by step. It takes time to establish a fully democratic system. But our leaders have the political will and the desire to move ahead and democratise the country. Could Cambodia's democratisation be an example to Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam? We are democratic, but I don't like to presume to be an example. Of course, for the credibility of ASEAN, we do wish that all our fellow members would follow the path of democracy. ... With Myanmar there are some problems with our dialogue partners from Europe and other countries. But Myanmar has set a road map to democracy, and we hope they will continue to follow that road and hold an election next year - and that it will be more credible.> Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:42:37 -0700 > Subject: Re: Fw: Letter to Hor Namhong > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > > > > On Jun 18, 11:56 am, Thavary Ung <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear all, > > On Saturday evening I went to F.O.C.U.S, the none profit organization party. > > The party organizer sat me at the same table of Chum Teav Ning Ek > > Ottdom *Sovann > > *( last name??), the Khmer counsult in Lowell. > > At first I didn't know who they are, untill I went to the bathroom and the > > Chum Teav got up after me and introduce herself > > to me in the bathroom.
