U.S. Embassy Statement on the Inaugural Session of the Fifth Legislature of the National Assembly
Released on September 23, 2013
Ambassador William E. Todd attended the Inaugural Session of the
Fifth Legislature of the National Assembly today under the patronage of
His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni. His attendance is not an endorsement
of any election outcome or of any political party.
The United States urges a transparent review of irregularities in the
July 28 national elections which would help efforts to assess and
address flaws in the electoral process and give the Cambodian people
greater confidence in the electoral system.
We believe that a functioning National Assembly requires the
participation of both major political parties. We call on the two
parties to follow through on their September 16 joint statement
denouncing violence, supporting discussion of electoral reforms, and
agreeing to resolve national problems through dialogue. All parties
should seize this opportunity to improve democratic processes and
implement meaningful reforms which strengthen the rule of law and
increase respect for human rights. The United States urges the party
leaders to work together for an outcome that unites the country and best
serves the Cambodian people.

It sounds that although CNRP boycott the opening the first parliament session but when CNRP decide to attend later on, it means that the National asembly is fully function from both parties. So it is official considered practical and legitimate. It is only a matter of time that CNRP will surely join the parliament. Hun Sen can wait as long as the King on his side and some countries, esp China are keen to support the half born government.
