Cambodia offers to host Russia-Ukraine talks during ASEAN summit

Cambodia has offered to use the upcoming ASEAN summit in Phnom Penh next week to host talks between Russia and Ukraine, according to a senior official of the Cambodian Foreign Ministry.

The Khmer Times reported that Prime Minister Hun Sen has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend related ASEAN summits while Ukraine’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba has agreed to visit Cambodia for the signing of the Instrument of Accession to the Treaty on Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC). “We are now waiting for confirmation from the Russian side,” it quoted Foreign Affairs spokesman Chum Sounry as saying.

Sounry said the arrangement for Kuleba to sign the TAC during the upcoming Summits has not yet been completed. “As the host country, Cambodia is ready to arrange for a Russia-Ukraine meeting in Phnom Penh if both sides wish to have it,” Sounry said. “But so far, there is no request from either side to arrange for their meeting.”
