PHNOM PENH -- More than 200,000 Cambodian garment workers demanding higher wages halted a strike on Thursday after the government proposed talks to end the deadlock, a union leader said. Ath Thorn, president of the Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers Democratic Union (CCAWDU), told workers to suspend their strike action and work normally from Thursday.

Faced with a crisis in a sector that is the impoverished country's third-largest currency earner, Cambodia's government called for an end to the stoppage that began on Monday to avoid huge losses to the economy, the workers and their families.
