Phnom Penh (FN), Dec. 2 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen sets to invite Myanmar foreign minister to visit Cambodia and said he is ready to pay an official visit to Myanmar.

The premier spoke Thursday at the 37-line roads inauguration in Sihanoukville.

“On 6-7 December, I will invite Myanmar foreign minister to Cambodia and I am ready to pay an official visit to Myanmar,” the premier said.

“Should we keep the status of ASEAN 9 or fix it for ASEAN 10. There were only 9 countries participated in 38th and 39th ASEAN Summit. If we can’t fix the issue, how can it be called ASEAN solidarity or ASEAN centrality?” the premier said as he assumes chair of ASEAN in 2022.

Myanmar had been absent from the 38th and 39th ASEAN Summit after facing social chaos for nearly a year as the military coup overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi's party on 1 February 2021 after the elections.
