An official from the US Department of State confirmed to RFA that the meeting between SRP MP Mu Sochua and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was an “official meeting.”
Ouch Borith, secretary of state of the Cambodian ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MFAIC) declared that the meeting between Mrs. Mu Sochua and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was an unofficial meeting.
At a press conference held on 16 September 2009, Ouch Borith claimed that, according to what the US ambassador in Cambodia [Carol Rodley] told him: “The [US] ambassador clearly confirmed that it was true that Mrs. Hillary Clinton met with Mrs. Mu Sochua, however, this meeting is what can be termed a meeting that is not inside her officer, it was a meeting along the corridor, in front of the office, outside of the office, it’s like shaking someone hands without planning, and it was not a bilateral meeting either.”
Nevertheless, an official from the US Department of State confirmed to RFA yesterday that the meeting between SRP MP Mu Sochua and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington DC was an official meeting because Mrs. Mu Sochua’s name was registered in the official guest list of the US Department of State.
