PHNOM PENH, (Cambodia Herald) - Foreign Minister Hor Nam Hong held an inter-ministerial meeting of the National ASEAN Secretariat Wednesday to prepare for the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Nations in April, a senior official said.

"The meeting was to prepare for the ASEAN summit which is scheduled for 3-4 April, 2012," said Soeung Rathchavy, secretary of state at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. "The meeting also discussed the themes for the summit," she told reporters, adding that it also covered documents to be signed by ASEAN leaders.

Hor Nam Hong was quoted as saying: "We have to make great efforts and work together as the summits will be involved with many different ministries."

Soeung Ratchavy said there would be 1,100 ASEAN meetings in 2012 and that Cambodia would host a second round of ASEAN and related summits on 18-20 November.

Cambodia officially assumed the one-year rotating chairmanship of ASEAN from Indonesia at a ceremony in Jakarta on Tuesday.
