WASHINGTON (CP) — The U.S. has welcomed ASEAN's efforts to resolve a deadly border dispute between member states Cambodia and Thailand.
Forty observers from Indonesia will monitor a cease-fire after violence broke out this month near the ancient Preah Vihear temple, scene of a long-running territorial dispute. Indonesia is current chair of the Southeast Asian grouping.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley (pictured) said Wednesday the U.S. also supports the ASEAN foreign ministers' call for Cambodia and Thailand to resume bilateral negotiations "at the earliest opportunity."
The 10-nation group, long criticized as ineffectual, is trying to take a more active role in regional affairs.
At least eight people have died in the recent fighting, and thousands have been displaced.

Yep, the Untied States should stop using Thailand to destroy cambodian again...because of US policy, turning cambodia into killing field zone!
America should be more proactive in the Khmer-Thai conflict. To just sit there and parroting after other countries is not good enough. America should advise its ally Thailand to back down and use a peaceful mean such as the UN and international court to solve this issue, rather than using its military superiority to force Cambodia to agree to what it wanted. Thailand has now become America's spoiled child and using its military might and America's support to bully other smaller countries.

Les américains aidaient financièrement les Khmers à lutter contre les communistes en 1970-75.
Quand ils n'avaient plus envie , ils se retiraient en 1975 , puis nous abandonnaient .Débrouillez-vous les khmers , les indochinois !
Ils n'ont rien à gagner sur ce coin de planète , car on n'a pas de pétrole , comme les arabes !
Quand , on voit la somme colossale ,75 milliards de $ , qu'ils dépensent , au Moyen Orient , et 110 millions de $ d'aide au Cambodge en 1975 , ça veut tout dire.(rappelons 1 milliard = 1000 millions)
Ces grandes puissances , l'une comme l'autre , elles regardent leurs intérêts d'abord ,les amis après .
On ne doit compter sur personne , on compte sur nous même .
L'économie du Cambodge doit être développée sur tous les azimuts , si on veut rester debout .
