Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 20 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen and Japanese prime minister Kishida Fumio urged for an immediate stop of the use of force and the withdrawal of the military forces from the territory of Ukraine.

"The two premiers urged for an immediate stop of the use of force and the withdrawal of the military forces from the territory of Ukraine," according to the joint statement seen by Fresh News on Sunday.

"Both countries co-sponsored the resolution (A/RES/ES-11/1) adopted in the 11th emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly on 2 March."

"They shared the view that the aggression against a United Nations Member State infringes upon its sovereignty and territorial integrity, constitutes a serious violation of international law prohibiting the use of force, and is a grave breach of the United Nations Charter," the statement added.

"They recognized that this aggression jeopardizes the foundation of international order which does not accept any unilateral change of the internationally recognized borders by force. In the same spirit, the two Prime Ministers confirmed their commitments to preserve peace, stability and security in the Indo-Pacific."

They also underscored that any armed attack on and threat against nuclear facilities devoted to peaceful purposes constitutes a violation of international law.

Speaking in a joint press conference, premier Hun Sen also reiterated that a war cannot end the war and called for a peaceful solution.
