Gambari: Cambodia strongly supports role of UN on Myanmar
November 30, 2007

Cambodia strongly supports the role of the United Nations (UN) on
Myanmar issue, the UN special envoy to Myanmar Ibrahim Gambari said
here Friday while visiting the kingdom.

During his two-day visit, Gambari met with Cambodian Foreign Minister
Hor Nam Hong here on Thursday.

Gambari told reporters in a press conference at the UNDP office in
Phnom Penh that the Cambodian Foreign Minister insisted that Myanmar
should work with the UN on the process of democratization.

The best way for the Myanmar government to avoid sanction or more
sanction is exactly more cooperation with the UN, Gambari told
reporters.

Cambodia should take the opportunity of Myanmar Prime Minister's visit
to give some constructive suggestions, he added.

Myanmar Prime Minister General Thein Sein arrived here Friday to pay a
goodwill visit to Cambodia, which is his introductory trip to another
member country of ASEAN following those to Laos and Vietnam earlier
this month.
