Cambodia,
United States Military Cooperation is not Cancel
but
Postpone
Some military cooperation programs
between Cambodia and the United States were postponed owing to a real present
situation. The decision of postponement is based on mutual agreement, not the
decision of one party, said General Nem Sovath, director-general of policy and
foreign affairs department of the Ministry of Defense. Lately, there was a
rumor that some military cooperation programs were cancelled, yet it was not
true as we still have any other tasks in the process. Besides, the postponement
is due to the abilities and resources are limited. The postponement is not only
for the United States but also other partner countries. More importantly, it is
not related to the election or effects on army sector development, he added. (Rasmei

Meeting between Sam Rainsy-Ban Ki-moon
In order to protest against
the election results, Mr. Kem Sokha, Vice President of the CNRP, told reporters
that Mr. Sam Rainsy will meet Mr. Ban Ki-moon on 13 August, but according to
Zeenews.india.com, Mr. Ban Ki-moon has visited Pakistan on that day as he needs
to discuss about disaster, peace and education administration. Therefore, there
was no meeting between Mr. Sam Rainsy and Mr. Ban Ki-moon. As a matter of fact,
Mr. Sam Rainsy informed the officer of the United Nations that he would like to
sue for the irregularities during the election last month. Anyhow, the officer
responded that he has no rights to sue directly although the Cambodian
government now is a caretaker government. Besides, the lawsuit must get
permission from both permanent and non-permanent members of the United Nations
Security Council (15 countries) to be discussed. (Rasmei Kampuchea, 14 August
