PHNOM PENH, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Monday that the other members of ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) should not be the hostage of Thai political crisis while Thailand requested to delay the ASEAN summit to March.
The summit should not be postponed, Hun Sen told reporters here, adding that "we have to meet to solve many issues, including the global financial crisis."
"If we delay the summit, the ASEAN will move backward," he said.
The summit should be held at the secretariat of the ASEAN in Indonesia and Thailand can still be the chairman of the summit as the Singaporean Prime Minister requested, he added.
The ASEAN had planned to hold a summit in mid-December.

Call me crazy but Hun Sen is getting bolder in ASEAN diplomacy game now.
It would be a good idea also if he had kept his plan in raising more budget for defence.Never can trust Siam even with a jar of Kapik.
Sen is catching up with string pullers in ASEAN's Thailand behalf.
China took lead in giving money to Cambodia this time because of its interest in ASEAN market. If China really really cares, $250 million is not enough to bring Cambodia to self reliance infrastructure level and geopolitical image.
Like it or not at last Hun Sen must realize his ultimate base is his people and home interst no matter what.This way outsiders may give Cambodia a bit of respect in self determination.
Look far ahead Hun Sen while they showered you with changes.Clean nup your acts and straighten up government in enforcing anti corruption and taxation laws to streamline financial asset when cambodia runs into defence issues.
Wake up Hun Sen,you will not be 50 twice yet Cambodia will not grow any larger after what you and clique went to bed with Hanoi in 1978.
Look what Sihanouk did to Cambodia between 65-75 and tried to use Khmer Communists to bail his faulty politics from beneath Hanoi to be under China.
In that Cambodia ended up with tragic death of 1/3 of population.So China still drops crumps to screw Cambodia from rear end as usual...
Wake up Cambodia,there is no free lunch when comes to economic war with China or its little cousins Thailand and Singapore.
mr. hun sen is right, why should members of asean postponed their meeting just because thailand has its own problem? in a way, it is a hostage of the thai political crisis! it is a thai problem, not asean!
TAKE IT TO INDO FUCK THE THAIS..........WHY WAIT FOR THEM
Ah Siamese is playing smert, that trick is obsolet to the 21th Century. Enjoy your Colonial hat and goes to bed, your dirty tricks is smelling.
Asean issue is not Siam problem, listen to Mr. Hun Sen advice he is your Krou Thom.
May Buddha bless Khmer all.!
Down Ah Siamese!
Yes, Thai issues must not be regionalized or internationalized.
Is that my correct understanding that other ASEAN members may not involve in internal affairs of a member country? So why internal affairs of a member should be able to affect the other members and ASEAN?
