PHNOM PENH: A senior United States official urged Cambodia on Friday (Dec 10) not to make any concessions to Myanmar's military junta when Phnom Penh chairs the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (

Chollet, on a brief visit to Phnom Penh, stopped short of calling on Cambodia to continue to exclude Myanmar junta officials, but he urged the country to promote and uphold the ASEAN peace plan.

"We would expect of any engagement that it actually brings results, it's not just something that's a concession to the junta," he said. "The US is not against engagement - we still have embassy in Myanmar - but we're quite clear that the engagement needs to have a purpose, you can’t come for free and we want to see genuine progress on the ground.”

Myanmar's military-appointed foreign minister visited Cambodia and met with Hun Sen on Tuesday, a day after the junta drew global condemnation for sentencing Aung San Suu Kyi to two years' detention on charges of incitement and breaching COVID-19 rules. Hun Sen, who has faced criticism from rights groups and Western governments over what they see as his suppression of democracy, also pledged to visit Myanmar.
