Sam Rainsy confident of returning to Cambodia to contest elections

Sam Rainsy speak to supporters during a visit to Australia on 19th May 2013.

Updated 21 May 2013,

Yesterday, around 2,000 people took to the streets of Phnom Penh, demanding the reform of Cambodia's National Election Committee ahead of polls on the 28th of July.

The demonstrators submitted a petition at the EU delegation asking for an intervention and marched to the United Nations rights office where leaders briefly met with visiting UN envoy Surya Subedi.

The march was organised by the Cambodian National Rescue Party, which is a merger of the former Sam Rainsy Party and the Human Rights Party. It's the main opposition force against the powerful and well-entrenched CPP.

The Cambodian People's Party has ruled since the early 90's and Prime Minister Hun Sen has said he plans on staying in power for another 15 years.

Over the years, the political opposition has been met with grenade attacks, targetted assassinations and harrassment of its members and one of the key opposition voices, Sam Rainsy, is currently living in self-imposed exile.

He's currently in talks with the Cambodian Government to allow him back into the country.

Presenter: Liam Cochrane

Speaker: Sam Rainsy, President of the Cambodian National Rescue Party

RAINSY: Those talks conducted through the United Nations, a number of friendly governments.

COCHRANE: Can you give us a little bit more information about when they took place?

RAINSY: For instance the UN Special Envoy, Surya Subedi, is currently in Cambodia and he is going to meet Cambodian top officials to discuss among other things the holding of elections next July.

COCHRANE: Is he expected to meet Prime Minister Hun Sen?

RAINSY: I think so.

COCHRANE: In the past that has been difficult and he has not been able to get an audience with the Prime Minister. What makes you think he will this time round?

RAINSY: Because Cambodia cannot afford to be isolated and cannot afford to reject the UN recommendations for the forthcoming elections, otherwise any government arising from illegitimate elections would be considered illegitimate also.

Cambodian opposition pushes for electoral reforms

Updated 21 May 2013,

Listen to the audio at Radio Australia.

Cambodia's opposition leader says he is hopeful there will be electoral reforms put in place to allow him to contest elections in July.

About 2,000 people protested in the capital Phnom Penh on Monday, demanding the reform of Cambodia's National Election Committee.

The protesters are calling on the United Nations and the European Union to help ensure the July 28 polls are free and fair.

The march was organised by the recently formed Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP), a merge of the former Sam Rainsy Party and the Human Rights Party.

Sam Rainsy is the main political challenger to Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen.

The above issue is very important for Cambodia because they can help each other to control Water Management system. It is for sure to help developing Cambodia.

Heads of state attending the second Asia-Pacific Water Summit yesterday jointly pledged to prevent their economies and societies from flood and drought disasters.
The joint declaration was made at the culmination of the summit, underlining the leaders’ awareness that economic growth in the Asia-Pacific is vulnerable because the region is “at most risk of facing natural disasters”, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said.
She was speaking at the summit leaders’ forum Monday.
The nine heads of state, from Thailand, Brunei, South Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Georgia, Tajikistan and Vanuatu, adopted the Chiang Mai Declaration, National Resources and Environment Minister Preecha Rengsomboonsuk said.
They agreed to tighten academic and technological cooperation to better manage water, including joint studies to assess impacts on regional economies as a result of floods, droughts and climate change.
Copies of the full text of the Chiang Mai Declaration are available from the Water Summit’s website in English or in Thai.
Ms Yingluck stressed what she called the significance of this cooperation.
“No country in this region can handle these challenges alone,” she said.
Thailand is ready to take part in any efforts to combat flooding and water shortages, she told the meeting.
She said her government is determined to “turn crisis into opportunity” by redesigning the national water management systems.
With such a move, she said, the country can regain confidence from the public and foreign companies in investing and expanding their businesses here.
Some national leaders admitted they are likely to be at odds over water usage on trans-boundary rivers but, under the move towards more effective water management in the region, they will be aware of the importance of closer cooperation between countries.

PHNOM PENH — A gold mine shaft has collapsed in the Preah Vihear province of Cambodia, trapping at least seven miners, officials said Monday.

Police said late Monday they are trying to rescue the trapped miners, near Romtum village, Rovieng district, but the shaft is very deep and old, making rescue efforts difficult.

“We don’t have the identities or the exact number of people, but we expect a lot,” Rovieng Police Chief Sin Thorn told VOA Khmer service.

Only one family in Romtum village was able to identify a trapped miner, an 18-year-old man, he said. “There are other villagers from different provinces.”

The collapse took place in a shaft that is typically mined by up to 60 people at a time, he said. Sin Thorn said he has warned villagers against mining there in the past, “but they never listen to my advice.”

Romtum Commune Chief Prak Sokhun said rescue efforts are underway. Local police and others are trying to dig out the landslide that they believe is cutting off the exit to the shaft.

NEC’s Chairman meets UN envoy

Surya Subedi, UN special rapporteur for Human Rights in Cambodia.

PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Im Suosdey, Chairman of the National Election Committee (NEC), met Tuesday with Surya Subedi, UN special rapporteur for Human Rights in Cambodia.

"We told him (Surya Subedi) what we have done in accordance with law and what we have done to respond to his concerns," Im Suosdey told reporters after the meeting at NEC headquarters.

“This was a good opportunity for us to explain real situations and laws in our country, and experiences we've learned," Suosdey said.

He said, the UN special rapporteur told us his concerns with recruitment of NEC officials and other issues raised by non-government organizations (NGO) and the opposition party.

Suosdey said Surya Subedi didn’t bring up his concerns regarding the election process or reforms of the NEC and issues related to Sam Rainsy.

Surya Subedi arrived in Cambodia for a week visit this past Sunday evening.

He will also speak and meet with government officials, civil society organizations and other related institutions to boost human rights.

Musicians rebuild Cambodia's lost ancient harp

Rosa Ellen in Phnom Penh, ABC Updated May 21, 2013,

A Cambodian composer has revealed the sound of an ancient harp which has gone unheard for more than eight centuries.

The pin harp is shown being played by maidens in the stone reliefs on the walls of the Angkor Wat temple complex.

It lends its name to pinpeat orchestras, which perform ceremonial music of the royal courts and temples in Cambodia.

Archaeology lecturer Preap Chanmara says unlike the other orchestra instruments - cymbals, xylophones, flutes and drums - the pin harp has been lost.

"We know that there are many music instruments on the sculptures - some even dating back to the time before Angkor Era: the 7th century to the 13th century," he said.

"There were many temples and sculptures back then, so there were also many different kinds of music instruments.

"Some are still being used today, whereas some others were lost."

Composer Him Sophy says the puzzle of Cambodia's missing harp had always haunted him.

"I [want] enthusiastically to know what and why it disappeared," he said.

"[On] the other side, as a composer, I love harp very much - all of my compositions I use harp, even for my symphony."

Cambodia launches cassava development project under China, UNDP support

Xinhua | 21st May, 2013
By Agencies

Cambodia launched Tuesday the second phase of cassava development project under the support of China and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).

Speaking at the launching ceremony, Teng Lao, secretary of state of Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, said the second phase of the project, which will last until September 2014, was made possible with the funding of 400,000 US dollars from China.

"It aims to help a core group of cassava farmers, processors and exporters to meet the quality and quantity requirements to be able to export more processed cassava to China, thus generating more revenue and employment opportunities for Cambodian smallholders in rural areas,"he said.

Cambodia and China signed a Protocol on the Exports of Cambodian Cassava to Chinese Market in December 2010, under which China allowed Cambodia to export its standardized cassava chips to China.

Teng Lao said cassava is the second agricultural crop in Cambodia and plays a very important role in Cambodia's agriculture and economic development.

He said last year, the country grew cassava crop on an area of 337,440 hectares, producing about 8 million tons of fresh cassava.

"About 50 percent of fresh cassava, 40 percent of dry cassava and 10 percent of cassava powder were sold to Vietnam and Thailand, "he said."And Vietnam and Thailand re-sell those cassava products to international markets, particularly China."

Subedi greeted by protesters

Thousands of protesters marched yesterday to greet United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Surya Subedi – an oft-outspoken critic of the Cambodian government – with an eclectic mix of complaints.

Some 3,000 people in total, mostly opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party supporters, turned out for the demonstration timed to coincide with the latest fact-finding mission by Subedi, whose relationship with the government has cooled since Prime Minister Hun Sen snubbed him in December.

The usual suspects were all there: the Boeung Kak and Borei Keila protesters, the assembled CNRP party faithful, and a man who is growing in stature as the opposition caretaker leader with the election race heating up, Kem Sokha.

Sokha dared Hun Sen’s government to debate policy with the CNRP on television and in an extreme analogy, likened the National Election Committee to the murderous Khmer Rouge regime.

“The Khmer Rouge . . . if they kill someone, they said that they did it according to the law, because that person opposed the organisation,” he said, alluding to NEC statements that the law prevents them from making any of the many changes the opposition is demanding.

Homeowners petition ADB

The occupants of 90 Phnom Penh households whose homes were partially or completely dismantled to make way for the Railway Rehabilitation Project partly funded by the ADB have demanded the bank offer them fair compensation.

In a letter submitted to the Inter-Ministerial Resettlement Committee, the ADB, the National Assembly and the Ministry of Economy and Finance yesterday, the villagers argued they had been unfairly locked out of compensation due to technicalities despite valid claims.

Luy Im, a representative of 23 complainants from Toul Sangke A, said she received only $100 in compensation after the front of her house was destroyed in 2011 to accommodate the works.

“I need more compensation, but I don’t know how much. I spent a lot of money to repair my house since the front of my house was demolished when they expanded the railway,” she said.

Im said she went into significant debt making the repairs.

The complainants, who include six households from Phum III and 65 from Tapeang Anhchanh, want the IRC to intervene because their compensation requests through one avenue of the ADB’s accountability mechanism have been rejected on the grounds that they were accepted via another.

In other words, receiving limited compensation disqualified them from the larger sums other households have received.

Cambodia gets more loans from China and Japan to develop its highway system

21 May 2013,

Japan and Cambodia signed last week a US$ 90 million loan deal to improve the trans-highway linking Thailand to Vietnam. The opening of the new road is forecast for 2018. It comes after the attribution of a highway contract to a Chinese company last March.

PHNOM PENH - Cambodia is looking to become the transit nation of Southeast Asia, capitalizing of trade and visitors flows between Thailand and Vietnam.

Last March, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen confirmed the important role of China to build up highways. China's Shanghai Construction (Group) General Company was awarded the concession to build Cambodia National Road N6A, which stretches over almost 250 km. The road is seen as one of the most important in the country as it links Kampong Cham province in the East to Siem Reap and the border to Thailand in the Northwest. It will also pass through Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh. The project is costing US$ 248 million and is expected to be completed within 42 months. The price tag is covered by a loan from China.

"This road is very important to connect traveling from Phnom Penh City to various provinces including the tourism province of Siem Reap and to the Thai border. It will be hugely contributing to developing the Cambodian economy and tourism,” explained the Cambodian Prime Minister at the groundbreaking ceremony.

When completed, the road will be the most modern and the longest in Cambodia. China already delivered paved roads to Cambodia with the total length reaching over 2,000 km.

But not only China is involved into the construction of highways in Cambodia. Last week, both Japan and Cambodia signed a contract representing an investment of US$ 90 million to improve and enlarge 83.5 km of highway of Cambodia’s National Road 5. The loan is provided by the Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) and will help improving the road between Battambang, Cambodia’s second largest city, and Sisophon at the border to Thailand.

Cambodian migrant workers sent home $256 million last year, according to a report from a U.N. agency and the World Bank, which was released in Bangkok on Monday.

The report from the bank and Rome-based International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), titled Sending Money Home to Asia, found that migrants from Asia sent a total of $260 billion in international remittances in 2012.

Cambodian singers "steal" songs of Vietnamese colleagues

Last update 21/05/2013

To listen to the song in both Khmer and Vietnamese here.

VietNamNet Bridge – Some Vietnamese singers and bands like My Tam, Duy Manh, Nhat Tinh Anh, Khanh Ngoc, group 365 have suffered from plagiarism in Cambodia.

My Tam’s three hits “Can Only Be Love," "Rain of the Past" and "For the Love" were blatantly copied by her Cambodian colleagues.

My Tam’s three hits “Can only Be Love," "Rain of the Past" and "For the Love" were blatantly copied by her Cambodian colleagues.

Two out of three songs were among the top hits in Vietnam more than five years ago, but until now Vietnamese netizens discovered that they were copied by Cambodian singers. It's not "selectively absorbing" because even normal people who know nothing about music can realize the similarity between these Cambodian songs and My Tam’s songs from the first notes.

The beat of the three songs of My Tam was exactly aped by Cambodian singers. For the lyrics, which is in Khmer so it is not defined whether they are translated from Vietnamese or not.

The Cambodian singer who stole the songs of My Tam is Tep Boprek (Pich Sophea), a famous singer in Cambodia. Born in 1993, Tep Boprek has had an admirable career. She is currently an exclusive singer of Reaksmey Hang Meas and just released an album called Reach Boprek. She is also considered a leading dancer in Cambodia.

Many fans of My Tam have expressed dissatisfaction about the discovery while My Tam has not raised her voice yet.

“Get on the Floor,” a hit of the 5-member boy group 365 that was launched last December was used by a Cambodian male singer. The incident has just been discovered.

The song of 365 was translated into Khmer language and the melody is up to 95 percent similar to the original song. Even one who listens to the songs for the first time can easily recognize the similarity.

The Cambodian singer also used dances in the MV of 365 group. After watching this clip, many fans of 365 are outraged. Someone advised 365 group and its company to lodge a lawsuit against the Cambodian singer.

Cambodia opposition calls for poll reform

Over 5,000 joined CNRP protest in Phnom Penh for free and fair elections - Video by Somnang Ek

ABOUT 2,000 Cambodian opposition members on Monday marched through the capital Phnom Penh to appeal for the help of the United Nations and the European Union to ensure free and fair elections.

Kem Sokha (middle), vice-president of the opposition CNRP lead the rally.

It was the second time in less than a month that the opposition has taken to the streets of the Cambodian capital to demand election reforms and the return of their leader-in-exile Sam Rainsy to contest polls on July 28.

The demonstrators from the recently formed Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) marched with posters that read "Change The National Election Committee" and "No Sam Rainsy, No Free And Fair Election".

They submitted a petition at the EU delegation asking for the bloc's intervention, and marched to the United Nations rights office where party leaders briefly met with visiting UN envoy Surya Subedi.

"We are seeking their intervention to push for reforms to the National Election Committee to ensure a free and fair election," said Kem Sokha, deputy head of the CNRP.

"We are also demanding that Sam Rainsy be allowed to fight in the election," he told reporters.

Prime Minister Hun Sen has led the country since 1985 and Rainsy, his main challenger, is barred from running in the polls due to a string of convictions that the opposition says are politically motivated.

Rainsy, who lives in exile in France to avoid prison, faces 11 years in jail if he returns, after he was convicted in absentia for charges that included publishing a "false map" of the border with Vietnam.

Hun Sen recently said he would step down as prime minister when he turns 74 -- having previously said he would serve until 90.

DAP News - Mr. Om Yintieng, head of Anti-Corruption Unit, has just issued a letter today warning Prince Thomico (pictured) for not declaring his assets. According to the law, all senior government officials must declare their assets before taking office. However, Prince Thomico is just an opposition activist and therefore he is not required to declare his assets.

The measures taken by Mr. Om Yintieng could be politically motivated because of Prince Thomico's defection from the Funcinpec Party, a junior partner in the government, to join the opposition CNRP. Prime Minister Hun Sen has just warned Prince Thomico a few days ago about his political affiliation with the opposition while at the same time claiming to represent the monarchy and ex-King Sihanouk's policies.

Cambodia sells more, buys less [Thailand sells more to Cambodia, but buys less from Cambodia - it's a one-way trade!]

Published: 20 May 2013
Bangkok Post

Trade between Thailand and Cambodia went off in a wild divergence in the first quarter of this year. Exports from Cambodia rose 19% to US$102 million (2.9 billion baht) year-on-year, while Thailand's imports recorded a 4% decline to $1 billion, the Phnom Penh Post reported on Monday, citing figures from the Cambodian Commerce Ministry.

"A lot of Cambodian agricultural products are being exported to Thailand as some barriers have been [adjusted] and thats why we are seeing imports from Cambodia to Thailand increasing quite a lot," Thai trade counsellor Jiranun Wongmongkol told the newspaper.

The diplomat cited the baht's appreciation as a factor leading to the dip of Thai products being exported to Cambodia.

Cambodian Commerce Minister Cham Prasidh told the Koh Kong Trade-Investment expo last week that his government was concentrating on bilateral trade agreements with neighbouring countries like Thailand and Vietnam.

Thailand's exports to Cambodia include petroleum, processed goods, cement, consumer products, construction materials, fruits, vegetables and cosmetics, while Cambodia ships agricultural products, second hand garments, recyclable metal and fish.

[Vietnamese] HAGL boss denies NGO's accusations of Laos-Cambodia land grab

http://www.eco-business.com

Doan Nguyen Duc, chairman of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Corporation, has rejected all accusations made against his company of deforesting and appropriating land in Laos and Cambodia by the NGO Global Witness, calling them “groundless.”

The organisation recently released a report titled “Rubber Barons” – apparently a play on “robber barons” which refers to unscrupulous American magnates of the late 19th century — in which it says Vietnamese companies and international financiers are driving a land grabbing crisis in Cambodia and Laos.

It accuses Hoang Anh Gia Lai and the State-owned Vietnam Rubber Group of acquiring vast tracts of land in the countries for their rubber plantations, and devastating the environment and local livelihoods.

Duc told reporters and investors in HCM City yesterday: “After its report was published, we invited representatives of Global Witness and the media — including CNN and BBC, to which the organisation sent its press release — for a fact-finding tour of our projects in Laos and Cambodia, but it refused.”

Global Witness only wanted to meet him in Viet Nam, he said.

“But what is the point since people should come to see with their own eyes the truth about our investments there,” he said, adding he had offered to pay for the trip.

The report alleges that the firms have ignored environmental and social safeguards while overseeing the destruction of high-value evergreen and semi-evergreen forests and the seizure of people’s land and livelihoods.

Duc said the governments in Laos and Cambodia had a very stringent process for providing land to investors that included investigation by local and central authorities before giving approval.

They also required guarantees that there would be no negative impacts on the life of local people, he said.

Before his company invested in the poorest Lao province, Attapeu, in 2008 its per capita income had been around US$200, and the figure has increased now to $1,200, he said.

Besides, HAGL spent more than US$30 million in the province, where it built a 200-bed hospital, schools, 2,000 houses, roads, bridges, and others, he said. Earlier, people there used to live in makeshift, not proper, houses, he said.

Vitray's first memories are of the tent cities in Thailand where Cambodian refugees found safety during the killing-fields era of the Khmer Rouge regime. Vitray was one of the lucky ones, as his family eventually managed to emigrate to America—to a Nashville ghetto plighted by bullets and crack cocaine. At 24, he traveled to Phnom Penh to get engaged. A handsome American citizen, he was quite a catch, so his father arranged for him to marry Dain, his pretty second cousin. They were happy for a while. And then the nightmares started.

  Vitray was haunted with visions—bloodied bodies, tortured faces, flesh torn from bones. Night after night the horrors returned until he was too terrified to lie down. Then Dain began to change; she suddenly seemed ugly and her serene expression began to look stupid and infuriate Vitray. He began to hate her and the way she affected an American accent and laughed in a high-pitched shatter of tinnitus-inducing screeches.  

Vitray was originally betrothed to another Cambodian girl before Dain—a girl who, according to Vitray's family, was pretty angry that she'd been snubbed of the opportunity to marry an American citizen. Vitray’s sister Molika told me the rest of the story: “I never believed in curses until I saw what happened to my brother. He was in love with Dain, and then he suddenly hated her,” she told me. “Then he got sick with Bell's Palsy. To this day, the doctors don’t know the cause, but people told me that the family of the girl he was originally betrothed to put a curse on him.” Read the full article here.

A Tale of Two Factory Disasters: What Cambodia Can Teach Bangladesh

By Brendan Brady / Phnom Penh

The Time Magazine

May 20, 2013

A garment worker in Phnom Penh — Samrang Pring / Reuters

As the final death toll of the Bangladesh factory collapse reached 1,126 last week, a small section of the second floor of a shoe factory in Cambodia gave way. Two people died, but witnesses said it was a stroke of luck that the number wasn’t much higher. Then, on Monday, ten more workers in Cambodia, including a pregnant woman, were injured when an outdoor platform where workers took breaks toppled over. The incidents linked two low-income countries whose export-driven garment and footwear industries supplying major international brands were already being discussed together – but as opposites.
In Bangladesh, before the Rana Plaza disaster, there had been a string of garment factory fires since last November that claimed nearly 400 lives. But such calamities have been nearly nonexistent in Cambodia, whose garment industry has long been watched over by an International Labor Organization (ILO) program called “Better Factories.” Since the monitoring program debuted in Cambodia in 2001, various versions of it have been implemented across the globe, and at the end of last year there were talks regarding its introduction into Bangladesh. That proposal has now taken on a sense of urgency. There are questions, however, about the extent to which Better Factories has been a model program and the form it should take if adopted by Bangladesh to improve the country’s woefully unsafe factories.
(MORE: Dying for Some New Clothes: Bangladesh’s Rana Plaza Tragedy)
When it launched, Better Factories was novel for both Cambodia and its international partners. The ILO had never before taken such an active role in supervising a country’s industry. For Cambodia, after decades under debilitating rule and civil war, it was essentially the country’s first step towards industrialization. The program was conceived as part of a quid-pro-quo development strategy between the United States and Cambodia. ILO teams audited factory conditions, worker contracts and other key terms of labor in exchange for Cambodia to export garments tariff-free to the U.S.’s vast consumer market. The system has kept Cambodia’s export factories free of child labor and nearly free of so-called sweatshop conditions. The program was itself soon exported to other garment sectors around the world, from Haiti to Indonesia.

People watch as a roof of a relaxing shelter is lifted from the water after it collapsed behind a factory in Phnom Penh on May 20, 2013.

A COLLAPSING structure injured 23 workers Monday at a Cambodian factory producing garments for fashion brand H&M, police said, the latest incident to raise concerns about regional industrial safety.

At least 23 workers were injured at a Cambodian factory that produced western fashion on Monday, police said, the latest incident to raise concerns about industrial safety in the region.

A concrete and metal shelter, where workers were resting during their lunch break, fell down in the compound of the Hong Kong Chinese-owned Top World factory located in Phnom Penh, said local police chief Hy Narin.

"The shelter is old and it collapsed into the lake while the workers were having lunch there," he told AFP.

"No one died but 23 workers were injured," Hy Narin said, adding that the workers were rushed to hospital for treatment.

The factory produces clothes for Swedish fashion giant H&M, according to Ath Thun, president of the Cambodian Labour Confederation.

"With this latest incident, we are worried about the safety of the garment workers," he told AFP.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the collapse of the shelter. Authorities and rescuers were seen searching the site to ensure nobody was trapped underneath, according witnesses.

The latest incident happened just days after a ceiling Taiwanese-owned shoe factory in Cambodia collapsed on Thursday, killing two workers.

PHNOM PENH—More than 20 people were injured Monday when a rest shelter outside a Cambodian garment factory collapsed and fell into a pond, adding to recent worries about safety in the country's garment sector.

A Cambodian rescue team searched Monday for workers after a shelter at a garment factory collapsed in Phnom Penh.
The incident came just a few days after portions of another Cambodian garment factory collapsed, killing three people and injuring several others.
The Cambodian incidents follow several more-deadly accidents in Bangladesh, where more than 1,000 people died in a garment building collapse last month, and many others have died in garment-factory fires over the past year.
Kuoch Chamreoun, a district chief of Phnom Penh, said Monday's incident occurred at around 11:15 a.m., local time, when a concrete and metal shelter where workers could rest and look out over a pond suddenly tumbled into the water, taking with it several workers from the Phnom Penh-area factory.
It was unclear what caused the accident. Mr. Chamreoun said 23 workers were injured, including a pregnant woman, but there were no fatalities. An employee of the company, Sieng Yun, 34, said the pregnant woman was seriously injured, but that the baby was fine.

Thai Defence Minister Sukampol Suwannathat, second from right, and his Cambodian counterpart Tea Banh (second from left), attend a General Border Committee meeting at a golf resort in Rayong.

Thailand and Cambodia yesterday agreed to strengthen cooperation and solve any border conflicts with mutual trust. Defence Minister ACM Sukampol Suwannathat met his Cambodian counterpart General Tea Banh at a General Border Committee (GBC) meeting at a golf resort in Rayong province.

After the meeting, Sukampol told the press that both countries had agreed to boost cooperation in suppressing drug smuggling, illegal logging, cross-border crimes and maritime safety.

They reiterated that law enforcement would be based on basic human rights.

The meeting also endorsed a proposal to strengthen mutual trust in respect of news dissemination, emphasising the importance of constructive and correct information and news.

Thailand and Cambodia have been engaged in a series of border conflicts in recent years.

Relations appeared tense after Cambodia asked the International Court of Justice to consider a trial against Thailand over the Preah Vihear Temple.

At the press conference, Tea Banh said that border security is a sensitive issue and mutual cooperation is needed to solve the problem.

Kem Sokha, vice-president of the CNRP raised a petition that he will hand to UN Office.

Cambodia National Rescue Party ( CNRP), the kingdom's main opposition party, held the second peaceful protest on Monday to demand election reforms and return of its self-exiled leader Sam Rainsy ahead of a general election in July.

Some 2,500 protesters gathered at the capital's Freedom Park, holding posters read "Support U.N. recommendations," "Change the National Election Committee," and "No Sam Rainsy, No Free and Fair Election."

Speaking through a microphone to the rally, Kem Sokha, CNRP's vice-president, said the 2nd protest was to demand the change of key members at the National Election Committee, saying that they are biased towards the ruling Cambodian People's Party of Prime Minister Hun Sen.

The protesters also appealed to the National Election Committee to accept the recommendations of Surya P. Subedi, the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Human Rights to Cambodia, who has urged election reforms, and called for an audit of the national voter list, which is believed that it is inaccurate.

In addition, they demanded the return of their self-exiled leader Sam Rainsy in order to join the forthcoming polls.

Sam Rainsy, 63, fled the country in late 2009 before Cambodian court sentenced him to 11 years in prison in absentia for two charges-removing border poles and publishing a false map of the border with Vietnam and accusing Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong of being a member of the Democratic Kampuchea, or known as Khmer Rouge.

After the gathering for a couple of hours at the Freedom Park, protestors marched to the headquarters of the European Commission to Cambodia to submit a petition; then, they marched to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Cambodia to file the same petition to Surya P. Subedi, visiting United Nations Special Rapporteur for Human Rights to Cambodia.
