Members of the Coalition of Asian Liberal Democrats met in Cambodia this week in an effort to form stronger bonds across the region.

Representatives came from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand. The event was hosted by the opposition Sam Rainsy Party.

“In our view, building a network among democrats has given the Sam Rainsy Party the hope and confidence that someday the Sam Rainsy Party will be in power,” said Mu Sochua, an opposition National Assembly representative for Kampot province.

The meeting covered methods of managing party finance, as well as building grassroots support. The Sam Rainsy Party discussed ways that women can become involved in politics.

Mu Sochua said some coalition members had only come to power after years of effort, something Cambodia's opposition would learn from by focusing on its key messages, especially an independent judiciary and equal opportunities for men and women.
