Yim Sovann, the SRP spokesman, pushed the government to form an independent border commission composed of all parties represented at the National Assembly (NA). Yim Sovann explained that this action would avoid any dispute between the opposition and the government when it comes to border issues with Vietnam.
Yim Sovann, SRP MP and spokesman, declared that he is pushing the government led by the CPP to form an independent border commission that would include all parties represented at the NA. The declaration came at a time when the SRP and the ruling CPP party are disputing each other on territories in Svay Reing’s Chantrea district, at the location where Mr. Sam Rainsy uprooted border stakes at the end of 2009.
Last week, Sam Rainsy showed several border documents during a video conference which indicate that these border stakes were planted inside Cambodian territories. However, sVar Kim Hong, the co-chairman of the joint Cambodia-Vietnam border committee, retorted, saying that Sam Rainsy showed locations that are contrary to what is shown on paper and on the spot.
The border exchanges filled with complicated technical issues led Yim Sovann, SRP spokesman, to push the government to form a new joint border commission with representatives coming from various political parties.
Yim Sovann added that the formation of this new border commission is done with the aim of seeking the truth, and to avoid any mix up between the government and the SRP.
In regards to Yim Sovann’s suggestion, sVar Kim Hong said today that the border commission is purely technical in nature, therefore, it cannot have political nature.
Last week, the Svay Rieng court sentenced opposition leader Sam Rainsy to a 2-year jail term after charging him with destruction of public properties and incitation to racial discrimination.
