A U.S State Department official told Radio Free Asia that meeting between Mrs. Mu Sochua, MP from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, and U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was an official meeting.
Mr. Ouch Borith, Secretary of State of Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has said at the press conference on 16th September that the meeting between Mu Sochua and Mrs. Hillary Clinton was not an official meeting. "Her Excellency the (U.S) Ambassador (Carol A. Rodley) had clearly told me that in fact Mrs. Hillary Clinton has never met with Mrs. Mu Sochua, but this meeting has been called an out-of-office meeting, it is a meeting in the street in front of her office, outside of her office like people walking on the street and unexpectedly bumped into each other and just shook hand without any appointments before hand, and it is not an official bilateral meeting either", he said.
However, a U.S State Department official told Radio Free Asia yesterday (17th September) that the meeting between Mrs. Mu Sochua and Mrs. Hillary Clinton was an official meeting because Mrs. Mu Sochua had registered her name in an official guestbook of the U.S State Department.
