The role of ASEAN in Cambodia over the past decade is due to be debated at a national conference in Phnom Penh on September 2. The conference, titled "Cambodia - 10 years after ASEAN: Achievements, Challenges and Prospects", will examine whether Cambodia's 10-year membership in ASEAN has improved the country's domestic political, socio-economic and external security situation since 1999. The conference, supported by the Friedrich-Ebert-Siftung Office for Regional Cooperation in Asia and the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace, will also set the framework for Cambodia's continued membership of ASEAN.
