International Relations: Cambodia puts itself forward as mediator between North and South Korea

The Mekong Times reports that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has suggested that Cambodia act as mediator between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and South Korea.

Speaking at the inauguration of a South Korean-funded project to revitalize National Road 3, Hun Sen revealed that the recently-elected president of South Korea, himself a former advisor to Hun Sen, had asked him to relay a message to the DPRK Prime Minister during a recent official visit.

South Korea bears no bad intentions for the DPRK, in fact it plans to assist it in the economic and humanitarian sectors, Hun Sen said.

Cambodia enjoys good relations with both countries.
