PHNOM PENH, March 19 (Xinhua) -- The Republic of the Congo on Monday revealed its support to Cambodia's candidacy for a non- permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) from 2013-2014.
The support was pledged during a meeting between Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong and Henri Djombo, Congo's Minister of Sustainable Development, Forestry and Environment, and Alain Akouala Atipault, Congo's Minister in charge of Special Economic Zones.
"His Excellency Hor Namhong expressed profound thanks to the Republic of the Congo for the support," Ouch Borith, Cambodia's secretary of state at the Foreign Ministry, told reporters after the meeting.
He said that so far, more than 100 friendly countries have expressed their supports to Cambodia's candidacy for the seat. The voting will take place in October this year.
