Don’t Mention South China Sea, Government Tells Asean

Don’t Mention South China Sea, Government Tells Asean

 Cambodia Daily | 24 August 2016
The National Assembly will petition Asean officials to remove a reference to the South China Sea maritime dispute from an upcoming joint statement, officials confirmed on Tuesday, a move some analysts and diplomats say will again threaten regional cohesion.
The request marks just the latest such intervention dating back to 2012. Cambodia has refused to join other Asean members in issuing statements disputing China’s sweeping efforts to assert control over waters that also are claimed by the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei.

    Kick it out of Asean. That's the right and only thing to do.
