A Cambodian community group says the Australian government should drop any plans it might have to send asylum seekers to Cambodia.
Cambodia's Foreign Minister Hor Namhong has confirmed that his Australian counterpart, Julie Bishop, raised the issue during a meeting on the weekend.
Ms Bishop is refusing to be drawn on whether it's being considered saying only that she discussed challenges facing the region, including people smuggling.
The President of the Cambodian Association of Victoria, Youhorn Chea, says Cambodia is too poor to accept refugees.
Mr Chea told Greg Dyett people found to be genuine refugees should be settled in Australia .
