PRIME Minister Hun Sen and opposition parties agreed on a joint solution today to the opposition’s year-long boycott of the national parliament.
Mr Hun Sen, opposition leader Sam Rainsy and others held their third round of talks since Mr Rainsy’s Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) refused to take their parliamentary seats after last July’s national elections.
The opposition alleged ballot rigging, demanding reforms and new elections.
However, Mr Rainsy said yesterday: “We have no choice. The only suitable choice is to end the political crisis, to end the standoff.”
The parties agreed in a joint statement to work together in the National Assembly to solve important issues and to reform some institutions.
They agreed that the National Assembly president and second vice-president of the would be from the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, while the first vice-president would come from the opposition CNRP.
Each party will chair five out of 10 commissions in the assembly.
