Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and opposition leader Sam Rainsy are planned to resume negotiations over the post-election dispute, but no exact date is set yet, officials said Tuesday.
"We have been preparing a top-level meeting for the leaders of the two parties," Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sar Kheng told reporters. However, he declined to give further details.
Opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) chief whip Son Chhay confirmed that both sides have contacted to discuss topics for a top-level meeting, but no specific date is set for the meeting.
"The CNRP wants to see a meeting between the two leaders as soon as possible in order to find a solution to the 7-month-old political dispute," he said.
Dispute between Prime Minister Hun Sen's ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and Sam Rainsy's CNRP has simmered since the July election results showed that the CPP won 68 parliamentary seats against 55 seats for the CNRP.
Having boycotted parliament since last September, the CNRP is demanding either a probe into election irregularities or a re- election, along with deep electoral reform.
However, Hun Sen has said that he will not call a re-election because it is unconstitutional.  

Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy met twice in September in a bid to resolve their political differences, but the talks failed to reach any agreements.
