Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 20 – The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MFAIC) expressed serious concerns over the intense clashes in the capital of Kayah State between the military and the rebel armed forces, according to a statement seen by Fresh News on Thursday.

“This continued violence is jeopardizing the progress that has been achieved during the recent working visit by Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen.”

"Premier Hun Sen has shared during that visit the success of Cambodia’s Win-win policy in achieving national reconciliation, lasting peace, stability, development and prosperity. He stressed that, based on the experiences and lessons learned from Cambodia’s peace process, a complete peace and national reconciliation cannot be achieved without the full participation and agreement from all parties involved.”

"In this spirit, we are of the view that all parties concerned shall accept the ceasefire, end all acts of violence, exercise utmost restraint and start a dialogue in order to establish favorable conditions leading to the reestablishment of peace in the country, which can pave the way for carrying out the ASEAN’s Five-point Consensus."
