PHNOM PENH, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's top diplomatic chief said Monday that sanctions imposed on Iran is not a good solution, but negotiations and engagement are better ways out.
Speaking to reporters on Monday at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hor Namhong, deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs said "to impose sanctions against Iran is not a solution" and that he suggested " negotiations and engagement" should be better ways out.
The minister was attributing his remarks to the experience Cambodia learned after the Khmer Rouge regime was toppled in 1979, during which Cambodia was imposed with serious and critical sanctions, but he said Cambodia was still survived and developed until today.
Hor Namhong made a visit to Iran last week and he had signed a petroleum deal there.
Iran is known as the second largest oil exporter to the world markets.
Since June, Iran has been imposed with new sanctions by the United States, European Union and the United Nations in a way to stop its sensitive uranium-enrichment program which they fear of nuclear weapons production.
But Iran government had denied the charge saying the program was only for a peaceful purpose.

ប្រទេសកម្ពុជាមិនមែនជាសត្រូវអ្វីជាមួយប្រទេស
Iran ដូច្នេះការចងសម្ពន្ធមិត្រជាមួយIran គឺ
ជាសិទ្ធិរបស់ប្រទេសកម្ពុជា។
សូមកុំភ្លេចថា សៀមគឺជាកូនជឹងរណបរបស់
អាមេរិច ដូច្នេះបើសៀមមានសង្រ្គាមជាមួយខ្មែរ
ដោយគំនិតឈ្លានពាននោះ ខ្មែរកុំសង្ឃឹមជួយ
ផ្តល់អាវុធអោយសោះ។ ផ្ទុយទៅវិញ អ្នកដែល ជួយខ្មែរគឺអាចមានប្រទេសដែលមិនរណប
អាមេរិច ដូចប្រទេសចិន ប្រទេសIran ជាដើម។
សូមកុំភ្លេចថាអាមេរិចស្អប់ប្រទេសIran ពីព្រោះ
Iranមិនព្រមផ្តល់ប្រេងកាតតាមចិត្តដែលអាមេរិច
ចង់បានប៉ុណ្ណោះ។ បើអាមេរិចបា្រកដជា សុចរិត និង មានយុទ្តិធម៍ ហេតុដូចម្តេច អាមេរិចមិនប្រាប់
អោយសៀមកុំអោយឈ្លានពានខ្មែរ ? អ្នកណាក៍
ដឹងដែរថាអាមេរិចមានទំងន់ប៉ុណ្ណាលើនយោបាយ
សៀម។ ប្រទេសសៀមបើខ្វៈការគាំទ្រពីអាមេរិច
គឺដីសៀមនឹងក្លាយជាបន្ទៈក្រដាសផែនតូចៗ
ប៉ុណ្ណោះ។
If you don't help yourself, no one will. The dominant Eagle will kills you, if you against its wills.
Don't worry- Israel's army will sever their cozy relationship. Israel will do a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran will be defeated by Israeli army as the bible had said.
