25 February 2011 -- AKP

Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen has put forth an initiative by proposing Indonesia to maintain its role as observer when Cambodia chairs ASEAN in 2012.

Premier Techo Hun Sen revealed his initial initiative here yesterday while he was presiding over the closing ceremony of the Ministry of Interior's annual meeting.

We ask Indonesia to remain observer in 2012 in the name of ASEAN not ASEAN Chair, said Samdech Techo Hun Sen.

The Cambodian prime minister also asked Indonesia to quickly send its observers to Cambodian-Thai disputed border areas.

At the meeting of ASEAN foreign ministers in Jakarta on Tuesday, Cambodia and Thailand agreed to host the Indonesian observers to monitor the ceasefire on either side. -AKP
