00:00Following talks earlier today, Dr. Sam Seon of the Royal Academy of Cambodia
00:05calls on the international community to show its support to help bring an end to the conflict.
00:11He also urged all ASEAN member states to work together toward a regional solution.
00:18We warmly welcome the intervention from the international community
00:23because we are not the one that provoked the problem.
00:27We just want this problem to finish, to end as soon as possible.
00:33I think it is very important to have the third party,
00:38such as United States, China, or the European Union, or ASEAN, especially ASEAN,
00:45and especially Malaysia, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim,
00:49to work very hard to express the strong support to end this conflict.
00:54Because we, the international community, I mean, if we focus on the problems between Cambodia and Thailand,
01:04it took place 100 years ago, I mean, after the France-Sham Treaty in 1904 and 1907.
01:12And then in 1962, when the ICJ formally announced that the Prabhye Temple is the land of Cambodia,
01:21located in the sovereignty of Cambodia.
01:25While Sam Seon praised Malaysia's efforts to address the issue,
01:28he also urged other member states to step up, stressing the need for ASEAN to work collectively towards peace.
01:34We hope for the stronger ASEAN, because it seems like during this time,
01:40we, the ASEAN country, ASEAN association,
01:43it seems like the ASEAN capacity is very limited.
01:47We could not solve even our own problems.
01:50We, ASEAN, it's not strong enough.
01:52But, however, we are sanctioned to Malaysia,
01:56especially the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim,
01:59that worked very hard to solve this problem.
02:01But we are asking about other ASEAN countries that are a member of ASEAN,
02:08but they just keep quiet.
