PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - Foreign Minister Hor Nam Hong met Monday with Cambodian ambassadors from abroad Monday to discuss the country's chairmanship of ASEAN and its bid to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said.

Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong said the meeting was to make recommendations to the ambassadors and other diplomats about these two issues as well as interpreting the 1962 verdict of the International Court of Justice which is related to the Preah Vihear area. The three issues are considered the three main foreign policy issues for 2012.
