Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 28 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen reiterated that Cambodia opposed all kinds of invasions and that kingdom’s foreign policies respect the UN charter and international laws.

The premier spoke in an inauguration ceremony of Cambodia-Korea Friendship ENT Building on Monday at Ang Duong Hospital.

"Cambodia is always against any country that invades another country,” the premier underlined.

Samdech Hun Sen said Russia is a friend of Cambodia and used to help Cambodia. However, the kingdom does not support invasions.

“The kingdom practices foreign policy based on UN charter and international laws,” he said.

"We strongly oppose the threats and the use of force against another country. We must respect the independence and sovereignty of other countries,” premier Hun Sen continued.

On 2 March 2022, the United Nations convened an emergency convention to vote on a resolution condemning and demanding that Russia withdraw its troops from Ukraine. Of the 181 countries, 141 voted in favor of the resolution, five voted against the resolution, while 35 abstained.

Cambodia is among the 141 countries. Cambodia also co-sponsored the resolution.

“Cambodia believes in dialogue and diplomacy to prevent the situation from getting out of control and to find a peaceful resolution in accordance with international laws and the principles of the UN Charter.”

The statement added, “while understanding the security concerns at stake, Cambodia upholds its firm position that all Member States must respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of other Member States.”
