Translated from Khmer by Socheata

PM Hun Xen praised General Pol Saroeun, the RCAF chief of staff, for tearing up the map unilateral drawn by Thailand in the past. During a speech given at the inauguration of the new building for the ministry of Tourism on Monday, Hun Xen said that he personally praised General Pol Saroeun who took the map unilaterally drawn up by Thailand and tore it down at the negotiation table. Hun Xen said: “I praised him, let him tear up any map that is not internationally recognized. If the Thai PM put this map in front of me, I will tear it down in front of the Thai PM also.” Hun Xen indicated that he does not allow any Cambodian official to negotiate based in Thailand’s unilateral map, and he said that any negotiation should be based on maps left over from France.

KI-Media Note: It's good to hear that Hun Xen accepts to use the internationally-recognized border map with Thailand as the basis of border negotiation with Thailand, however, it would have been even better if he would also do the same with the border with Vietnam. In fact, Hanoi and the Vietcong provisional government recognized Cambodia's border prior to 1970.

Let's solve the problem step by step. New leader may take border issues with VN and Laos to the Table as long as international treaties are there: Paris Peace Accord ... etc.

Ho Chi Minh City Ph.D Pol Sareun tore up map at JBC meeting with Siam?

Hun Sen must be lying to boost his buddy Sareun image???

His old friend (a Viet Khmer born drafted to take part in 1978 invasion but living in US now) said that Sareun used to be under his command and liked to run and hide in Viet Cong T-64 tank when facing Viet Cong's KR firefight in 1979.

It's incredible to hear such fib from Hun Sen,as usual, since 1985...

Why bother talking with them since all it leaders one government after another government always said that "Gen Anupong said that all the border talks would be the responsibility of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission for the Demarcation of Land Boundararies".

HUN SEN must tell them to go back to Nunjao or Yunan!!

My beloved 7:06PM!

Yes! Next time, SenVarman will be conscientiously and patriotically worked with his master, Youn, about what? Khmer&Youn's border?

Don't think so, SenVarman doesn't wanted to be as Pen Savann, 'cause he desperately still wants power, rich, perhaps more young Youn's girls!
