Ceasefire talks between the Cambodian government and a military team under deposed
co-premier Prince Norodom Ranariddh broke down soon after opening on May 15 due to
disagreement over a member of the prince's team. The government objected to the presence
in Ranariddh's five-member delegation of Long Sarin, a senior official from the Cambodian
embassy in Bangkok.
"This morning the meeting failed because one participant is not eligible according
to the rules of our working group," defence ministry official General Dam Vuthy
told reporters.
Dam Vuthy said the government was giving Ranariddh's team, led by the deputy commander
of his forces, General Khan Savoeun, time to rearrange its members.-Reuters
