Phnom Penh
Wednesday, 16 June 2010
Lawmakers on Wednesday named 24 members to join an annual Asian parliamentary meeting to be held in Hanoi later this year and where Cambodia hopes to float proposals to resolve border conflicts and better define the use of the Mekong River.
Cambodia is facing political pressure over border demarcation with Vietnam while it continues a two-year military standoff with Thailand on disputed land on the northern frontier.
Policymakers are also grappling with how to best balance the needs of people who depend on the Mekong for survival with the energy needs of the country’s growing economy.
