PHNOM PENH, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian government said Thursday that it fully supported and congratulated Ban Ki-moon for his second term in office.

Koy Kuong, spokesman of Cambodia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said the Royal Government of Cambodia expressed its full support and congratulations to Ban Ki- moon, the South Korean born who was reelected by the United Nations members for the second term in office as the Secretary General of the world's body.

He said, Ban Ki-moon had done an excellent job during his first term, and under his leadership, Cambodian peacekeepers had been sent abroad under the UN peace keeping operation.

"Cambodia and the UN have had good cooperation and even better after his recent visit to Cambodia," he said, referring to Ban's visit in Cambodia late last year.

Koy Kuong said the UN, especially the Security Council and International Court of Justice are paying high attention to Cambodia-Thai border conflict with an aim to see peace in the region.

Ban, 67, was unanimously approved and reelected by the 192- nation of the UN General Assembly for another five-year term that will begin on Jan. 1, 2012.

He is former South Korean foreign minister and was a successor of the former UN body Chief Kofi Annan from January 2007.
