As leaders from across the globe gathered in New York Monday for the UN General Assembly, Foreign Minister Hor Namhong arrived for meetings with delegations and leaders.
Hor Namhong sought meetings with some leaders and met, as part of an Asean delegation, with US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.
Hor Namhong was expected to address the Khmer Rouge tribunal, climate change and its affects on Cambodia and Burma's human rights record at the Assembly.
The White House had said ahead of the UN meeting that US President George W. Bush would meet 20 leaders from countries with rights problems and fledgling democracies, but Cambodia was not among these.

Oh good, that means our minister will be safe from the US propaganda.
You mean he actually got a VISA to enter the US? Did you check his baggages for underage girls? What country is he representing? Vietnam?
He deosn't deserve to meet President Bush. A low life is what he is.
He is faking Democracy. Therefore he just don't deserve any chance to meet with the real man ( President Bush). He should go home and do some more soul searching and if he cann't than don't worry about it and just go to die in Vietnam or China.

PLEASE PRAISE THAT COMRADE HOR IS NOT ON FAMILY TREE OF GLOBAL WITNESS.AND HE DID NOT ORDER ANY KILLING WHEN HE WAS IN CHARGE OF BOEUNG TRABAEK PRISON.
HOPEFULLY ONE DAY HE VOLUNTEERS TO CLARIFY ECCC TRIAL AS WITNESS FOR CAMBODIAN VICTIMS.

Well if his picture was on global witness report, and he ordered some killing in KR, would he be speaking in the UN?
