Cambodia wants foreign ministers of the Assoication of Southeast Asian Nations, or the Asean chairman, to sit in on bilateral talks with Thailand, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Thursday.

Hun Sen said this during his meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Trairong Suwannakhiri and Deputy Commerce Minister Alongkorn Polabutr, who called on him in Phnom Penh, news reports said.

Mr Trairong and Mr Alongkorn were in the Cambodian capital for the opening of the Thai trade fair.

They discussed trade and border issues withe the Cambodian leader.

Hun Sen said he did not want the Thai-Cambodian border conflict to escalate and wanted both sides to jointly establish demarcation posts and comply with the United Nations Security Council's call for a permanent ceasefire agreement through bilateral talks.

The Cambodian prime minister proposed that each bilaterial talk be witnessed by representatives of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or the Asean chairman.

He asked Mr Trairong to convey the message to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva that he did not want the two countries to engage in a war of words.

Mr Trairong said the Thai government had been careful about what it said, but could not stop some groups from speaking their minds.

The two sides agreed to promote trade and investment cooperation and agreed that the problems between them had affected trade and tourism.

At a separate press conference, Hun Sen also said Cambodia would propose that foreign ministers of Asean or the Asean chairman witness the signing of a permanent ceasefire agreement with Thailand, expected to be reached in Jakarta on Feb 22.

He said it would be much better if the Asean chairman, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, could co-sign the agreement.

People listen UN is know everything but UN as well as American and the world of modern democracy hate Hun Sen regime so much. American, UN use thai to eliminate Hun Sen regime out of the world only, that's why American, UN act like that. Please look at recently regime of Tuniasi and Egypt behind the scence is American and UN. Trust me, I am old enough and have heap of experinced in UN.

The idea is to wipe out all Hun Sen regime from the world and China can't help Hun Sen either because China know that China won't win the war with US. The military technology of China today are copy from US since 1945. US military system are a head China over 60 years.

Cambodian people should also wipe out Hun Sen regime as well as his 400 relative out of the world because they are the source to make cambodian people suffer until today.
