Phnom Penh - UN special envoy to Myanmar Ibrahim Gambari said he believed a peaceful solution with the military junta was achievable, as he wrapped up a two-day visit to Cambodia Friday.
He also rejected criticism that the UN and ASEAN had not conveyed the importance of freeing Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners strongly enough to the Myanmar government, saying it was difficult to be more forceful in a diplomatic context.
'We are saying very clearly that if Ang San Suu Kyi is to become part of the solution and a partner in dialogue that it is very, very essential that she be released from detention,' he said. 'Part of my consultation with the government is to make that point very clearly.'
Gambari appealed for calm on both sides in Myanmar, asking for trust in the diplomatic process, which he said was making progress.
He also expressed his belief in the Cambodian government's important diplomatic role and said he understood its reluctance to impose sanctions.
'Cambodia is not alone in terms of Association of Southeast Asian (ASEAN) countries who have reservations about sanctions,' he told a press conference in the capital. 'You will notice that even some of the countries that approve of sanctions are suggesting that sanctions alone may not be enough.
'Beyond sanctions what we can seek (from Cambodia) is their support and I think we have got that,' he said. 'As a neighbouring country with close relations with Myanmar, they have a privileged position to help us and convey key messages to the authorities in Myanmar, and I think they will do that.
Gambari visited Vietnam before Phnom Penh, and will wrap up his current tour of the region with a trip to Communist-led Laos.
He said his meetings with Vietnamese and Cambodian officials had raised hopes that those countries could operate bilaterally to support UN initiatives and 'offer some advice quietly.'

The other so called political prisoners are really criminals and spies who disturbed the peace and destroyed public property, and they will have to serve their sentences before they will be released.
They should be soft on them!
They have oil, moron!

hehe!
MOI sucks big time!
If your vehicle (s) are still running on gas, you should support them, too, unless your vehicle (s) runs on water.
You need more gray matter in your brains, or start to use your worthless Yale or Harvard degrees to figure it out, although I understand that most of you peopl are good at math, that explains why you people unable to articulate clearly.
Simple physics: If a vehicle runs out of gas, it stops. How difficult was it to figure it out?
MOI
Fuel cell technology on the way which can make car run on water!
I decided to create a special
e-mail address; especially for all KI clients who are fearless will balls of steel to drop me your ideas and suggestions on how to improve our country’s economy for our next generation.
Of course CPP members are always welcome.
Here’s my address:

CPP 2008!
Anti-KI clients,
MOI
May be it is time for Hun Sen gets another PHD in drug diplomacy from Burma University. He looks very good in this event.
The important to Cambodia is what we shall concentrate on. What is benefit to team up with this country? ….
…..
…..
May be Hun Sen runs drug business with his team mate in Burma. Can he get out?
When Samdach Hun Sen is trying to get Cambodia moving forward-- then we have somebody blocking his way.
You need to get out of his way, so he can get this country moving forward.
MOI
Perhaps some of the KI clients' need to be washed with soap for that profanity that's coming out from that stinking mouth.
The truth of the matter is you will never have a plausible debate or discussion here,because these people have problems with their mouth. That's why I decided to treat them like dirt.
MOI
Stop dreaming, 4:25, there is no soap, bleach, or even acid on this planet that will clean out them people (KI smelly people). The best way for you is to wear protective mass to prevent yourself from breathing in their virus and contracting their westerner diseases.
DO NOT respond to MOI comments. Everyone needs to apply an Extinction principle here, a negative feedback, and in order to bend the Toddler behaviors one needs to Ignored/Timed out.
Restraint/Refraint from Reinforcing his behavior!
That shouldn't be that hard because you idiots don't have anything intelligent to respond to anyone anyway.
Mr. Kong Hean et al,
Those are from the same Viet troller that pretends to be khmer and speaking for Khmer. And most recently, she revealed herself as MOI - We like to refer to her as "Multiple Orgasms Instantly" while she's calling herself "Man of Integrity". She is going back and forth between being anonymous and MOI...KI-Media readers already opt to ignore this leech/parasite Viet troller because we all know full well that SHE cannot influence anybody with her trash writings...Need we say more?
Sincerely yours,
KI-Media readers
