Mr. Koy Kuong, Foreign Ministry spokesman, said the face to face meeting between Mr. Hor Namhong and Mrs. Hillary Clinton will focus on two important issues. "The first point they will discuss about bilateral co-operations between Cambodia and the United States.

This is completely wrong, in contrast from what they are now telling a foreign government", he said.
