Cambodia is expected to welcome the visit of the incumbent President of the United States for the first time in history next year when the country chairs ASEAN, officials said.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister Hor Namhong, minister of foreign affairs, on Monday, visiting Ambassador of the United States to ASEAN David Carden said the U.S. congratulated Cambodia for hosting the ASEAN next year and said the U.S. was ready to assist Cambodia to chair the ASEAN successfully.
"The U.S. fully supports ASEAN to establish an ASEAN community by 2015," he said. "Our president will be given the opportunity to attend the ASEAN-U.S. Summit and related meeting here next year."
Koy Kuong, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the ASEAN-U.S. Summit will be held in late November, 2012 in Phnom Penh, and the U.S. presidential election will be held in early November 2012, so, probably, the incumbent U.S. President Barack Obama will take part in the summit as the new elected U.S. President in the next year's election will take office in December.
During the meeting, Hor Namhong asked the U.S. to accelerate its assistance to Lower Mekong countries including Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos under the framework of the Lower Mekong- U.S. cooperation on the sectors of environment, education, health and infrastructure.
"The U.S. plays a key role to help the four lower Mekong countries to develop connectivity. It is a part of ASEAN connectivity, " he said.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
David Carden arrived here on Sunday for a four-day visit. During the stay, he will meet Cambodia's ministers of education, environment, and commerce, and also pay a courtesy call on the Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Some of the money will also sure in your pocket.
god bless cambodia always.
I wonder if President Obama is aware that Hun Sen is the longest elected (dictatorship) in SEA.
He should bring his message of "change" and "Hope"..
Whatever!!!
All we want is to get rid of Corrupted Communist CPP leaders coming from Communist Vietgook Country first before President Obama will shake hands with the non Communist leaders.
Hun Sen needs to go because he was installed as Communist CPP PM by his Communist Vietgook masters from Hanoi. Hun Sen is very dumb and married to his Yuon wife who is a crook and murder.
Khmer people feel very embarrassed to have the stupid leader Hun Sen as Communist CPP PM who has lea the country in the wrong directions under the secret supervision and provision of his Communist Vietgook masters in Hanoi because those Communist Hanoi gooks/masters are the ones created Khmer Rouges's Killing Fields to kill all Khmer people in the blind eyes of gullible Khmer people, foreigners,international communities and United Nations before the Communist Vietgook masters and people took the entire land of Khmer Kingdom.
Vietgook masters have still been playing the dirty secret plans and cheated the stupid propaganda until today.
You have seen something wrong with ECCC for Khmer Rouges Trials. It wasted millions of dollars!!!
Communist Vietgook Masters and thier Vietook folks have played the major roles in the blind eyes of the international communities and UN to deceive the money and take the huge advantages of Resources both Khmer Kingdom and International funds or assistants. Those Vietgooks have stolen everything and shipped to Communist Vietgook Hell country.
Communist Vietgook masters and folks in Khmer country have to pay the heavy prices to what they have done badly now or until 21st century.
President Obama (including Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton) does not know that Communist Vietgook masters have been behind all the problem ever since.
JFK and their administrations have already known a lot about Khmer country and what happened in Khmer Kingdom
congratulations, mr. hun sen for reforming cambodia for the better! forget run away refugees!
no terms limit law, no whine, ok!
9:59 PM - You are the Communist CPP voter! OK! Really! Really! The same person who put the previous comments!
9:59 PM used to put comments against Hun Sen. Now 9:59 PM is flip-flopped!
The two headed calf is representative of the communist evil-viet CPP regime ruled by the puppet government in Cambodia today.
a. one head, with Hanoi evil force behind the scene...will do anything to occupy Cambodia and ignore the Paris Peace Agreement. Viet infiltration of Cambodia is illegal!
b. second head, CPP evil government does not represent the true Cambodia people..and MUST GO! land eviction, land concessions to profit a bunch of illegal gangsters and cronies, no real education system that promotes Khmer way of life and help people find real jobs, corruption is widespread!!!
Meaningful democracy and change must be take place.
kUSA
KHMER DESTINY RESTS ON KHMER HANDS.
ANY OTHER NATIONS WORK FOR THEIR
OWN INTERESTS REGARDLESS SIEM,YUON,
CHEN,BARAIN,ALIMAND OR USA. WE ASK
THEM FOR HELP WE WILL HAVE TO PAY
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WHY KHMERS DO
NOT RELY ON THEMSELVES, TRUST THEIR
OWN PEOPLE? MR. OBAMA COULD BE A
SITTING DUCK U.S. PRESIDENT IN DECEMBER OF 2012 FOR HE HAS A GOOD
CHANCE TO LOOSE THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION. THEN WHAT? CAN'T WE BE OUR OWN BOSS? GOOD LUCK!!!

You are right. Thank you for sharing wit us. Obama needs to be aware of Hun Sen dictatorship government in the Kingdom of Wonder.
If Omama isnt careful with his intention or purpose of visiting Cambodia, Hun Sen government will twist more lies and make the situation between the Chinese and the US to another knot.
One hand, Cambodia follows the democratic principle from the US and on the other, Cambodia is influenced by the communist government from China, and on another Hun Sen is secretly working for the Vietnamese PArty, selling the lands and the people to be slaves.
Bin Ladin the dictator had bullets in his head, will we see the same for Hun Sen?
Can Obama do it? Yes, we can!
