CPP-CNRP Back on Talk at the National Assembly Proves Fruitless

The working groups of Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) and Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP) have decided to meet again yesterday at the National Assembly in order to solve the problem during the election and to reach an agreement concerning the political tension. The meeting between the leaders of the two parties is to solve country’s problem and benefit of the people after the election, said Mr. Prum Sokha, a representative of CNRP. After a two-hour meeting, a representative of both parties issued a joint statement, which declared that both parties understand mutual will and purpose in order to reach an agreement and both parties will inform their leaders to get advice and look into the possibility to meet again. Anyhow, the meeting had not been reached the real point; it just shows the mutual will to solve the problem concerning the election and understands the purpose and idea so as to reach an agreement. “We are both still hoping that our high-level politicians will finally come to a resolution and noting that post-election procedures were still moving ahead smoothly. What is very good is that we have met and debated. If we had not met, that could be called deadlock. The political groups are still debating the law; expert groups are still working normally. Therefore, I think that there is no deadlock”, he added. (Rasmei Kampuchea, 21 August 2013)
