Cambodia’s opposition leader does not appreciate the fact that he was not invited to attend the 3rd Cambodian Economic Forum. The UNDP plans to organize a workshop for MPs, however, for Sam Rainsy, this is not enough in view of the worldwide crisis.

On Wednesday 03 Feb, Sam Rainsy sent a letter on this issue to Jo Sheuer, UNDP director in Cambodia.

“I strongly regret that the 3rd Cambodian Economic Forum organized by the Supreme National Economic Council in collaboration with the UNDP, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank will not include Members of Parliament at the most critical time when Cambodia must deal with the global economic crisis,” the SRP leader complained. The forum, which will be held on 05 Feb, will be attended by government officials and by political decision-makers.

Given the current situation, Sam Rainsy is not satisfied with just UNDP workshop organized for MPs and civil society officials to be held at a later date.

What's a use to include Ah useless convict in any meeting? He'll be lock up in Prey Sor soon enough.
