Rainsy Calls for Shaming of Vietnam

Phnom Penh (Khmer Times) – To succeed in its negotiations with Vietnam over the demarcation of the border, Cambodia should shame its neighbor because the country needs international support to settle its dispute with China, Sam Rainsy, president of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party, wrote on his Facebook Page yesterday.

“Any country that violates Cambodia’s territorial integrity would be seriously condemned by the international community. In particular Vietnam would suffer such an embarrassing condemnation at a time when she needs international support in her confrontation with China in the South China Sea,” he wrote under a statement titled “Vietnam must respect the 1991 Paris Agreements on Cambodia.”

“The most effective means, under the present circumstances, to force neighboring countries to respect Cambodia’s territorial integrity would be an official demand by the Cambodian government to the international community for an effective implementation of the 1991 Paris Agreements on Cambodia, which constitute an international treaty still in force,” he explained.
