The U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
and President Barack Obama are looking forward to visiting Cambodia this year
in order to attend ASEAN meetings, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East
Asia and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell said Thursday.
His
remarks were made during a meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen at the
Peace Palace, Eang Sophallet, spokesman for Hun Sen, told reporters after the
meeting.
Kurt
said Hillary will attend the ASEAN Regional Forum in July and Obama will join
the East Asia Summit in November.
During
the meeting, Kurt also promised the United States will try to encourage more
U.S. investors to Cambodia and to the whole ASEAN region to cement ties between
the United States and the ASEAN.
Hun Sen
said that the upcoming visits of Hillary and Obama will bring closer ties
between Cambodia and the United States and their visits will help build more
confidence among U.S. investors in Cambodia's political and economic situation.
