UN urges Asian governments to invest in disaster risk reduction as floods affect millions

UNITED NATIONS (BNO NEWS) -- The United Nations (UN) on Friday voiced concern as hundreds of people have been killed and millions more have been affected by the floods ravaging a number of Asian countries.
Pakistan, the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Thailand are all suffering from the effects of flood waters and many people have lost their lives as a result. The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) went on to urge governments to increase their investments in disaster risk reduction.
Special Representative to the UN Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction, Margareta Wahlström, underlined that people should not die because of floods. "We have the technology to alert communities before floods arrive," Wahlström said. "People can be evacuated in time, lives saved and livelihoods protected. Once again, early warning systems are the smart choice and the most efficient of all disaster prevention measures."
In addition, many have seen their infrastructure damaged and their services interrupted by heavy rains, Wahlström noted, expressing concern over the long-term economic impact of the floods on the affected countries.
Floods account for a significant amount of damage to public assets such as health and education facilities as well as to the livelihoods, homes and assets of poor people, according to a UNISDR report. However, most of these losses are not recorded by governments, making it difficult for them to invest in disaster reduction measures.
"The invisible nature of this large volume of disaster loss is one reason why so many countries are finding it difficult to make both political and economic decisions to prioritize investment in disaster risk management," said Wahlström.
Cambodia has been struck by the worst flooding in a decade, as tens of thousands of hectares of rice paddies have been inundated and about 300 schools have been closed after heavy rains. More than 17,000 families have been evacuated to higher ground in 12 provinces across the country while at least 141 people have been killed.
Meanwhile, in Thailand, more than two million acres of farmland are underwater and more than 635 schools have been damaged, leaving thousands of children out of school. Floods there have also left more than 170 people killed.
Devastating floods have further affected Pakistan for the second year in a row. The World Food Program (WFP) reports that 5.4 million people have been affected, 73 percent of the harvest has been destroyed, and 36 percent of the livestock has been killed in flooded areas.
WFP spokesperson Gaelle Sévenier said the agency has provided 7,000 tons of food rations to 490,000 people in flood-affected areas in Pakistan and added it will increase its efforts to provide food assistance to 500,000 new beneficiaries by the end of the month. More than 300 people have also been killed.

Mekong Areas Slammed by Floods

2011-09-30

Southeast Asia suffers the worst floods in more than a decade.

Cambodians use boats to navigate flooded streets at Kian Svay district in Kandal province, Sept. 24, 2011.

The worst floods in more than a decade along Southeast Asia's Mekong River has left nearly 200 people dead, destroyed vast tracts of farmland and fishponds and sent tens of thousands of people fleeing from their homes.

Worries are growing about food shortages as rice paddy fields came under water. Water-borne diseases triggered by the death of livestock and poultry swept away by the floods are also posing a threat to flood victims.

Among the worst hit is Cambodia, with at least 141 people killed as the floods lashed 15 cities and provinces in the country, the National Disaster Management Committee said.

In flood prone Prey Veng province, which has suffered the highest death toll, residents are already grappling with food shortages and have appealed for immediate government assistance.

“I urge the government to help me. I am poor and now I'm facing floods,” said Prey Veng villager Chhun Chantha, a mother of five, lamenting that her family does not have enough rice, a staple diet, to eat.

"Most of the villagers are fishermen but now we can’t fish because of the floods," she said.

Some 173,063 people had been affected by the floods in Cambodia, with 17,273 evacuated to higher grounds, and 61,473 hectares (151,903 acres) of rice paddies completely damaged, according to the disaster panel.

Prime Minister Hun Sen has instructed the Red Cross to provide 200 million Cambodian riel (U.S.$50,000) to each province reeling from the floods, according  Uy Sam Ath, the director of national disaster management with the Cambodian Red Cross.

High rice prices

Other countries affected by the swelling of the Mekong River are Laos, where at least 30 people have died and 400,000 others affected, and Vietnam, where flooding has helped drive rice prices to a three-year high, adding to the country's double-digit inflation problems.

The Mekong delta in Vietnam produces more than half of Vietnam's rice and 90 percent of its exportable grain.

Sources said that the authorities in Laos were under-reporting the flood destruction in central and southern provinces in a bid to avert public criticism.

RFA's request to cover the situation in flood devastated areas in Laos has been turned down with no reasons given.

Eri Kudo, the World Food Program's Representative to Laos, said a large number of communities across the flood-stricken Khammuane province had lost their 2010 harvest in flash floods.

They were "struck by disaster not once but twice," Kudo said in a statement after the WFP distributed three month rations of U.S.-provided rice and vegetable oil to villagers who lost their harvest to recent floods.

The WFP provided aid to more than 200,000 people in five provinces "to ensure their food and nutrition security until the next harvest in November 2011."

In Vietnam, at least 14 people have died in the floods, which also devastated 10,000 hectares (24,710 acres) of rice paddy fields and damaged 4,000 homes. Flooding is expected to peak in Vietnam in early October.

Vietnam News Agency reported that typhoon Nesat, which killed at least 39 people in China this week, had slammed the northern Quang Ninh province and nearby Hai Phong city on Friday.

Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai urged the provincial authorities to evacuate people from dangerous areas, speed up the rice harvest and close more schools to prevent deaths, Reuters news agency reported.

Around 5,000 hectares (12,355 acres) of the Mekong Delta's third rice crop in Vietnam have been inundated as floods broke through dyke sections in the provinces of Dong Thap and An Giang, and another 90,000 hectares (22,240 acres) were under threat.

Disaster officials in Vietnam also said that fish and shrimp farmers had been  moved to safe areas along the northern coast, the Associated Press reported.

Fish ponds destroyed

Aside from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, the Mekong River also runs through Burma and Thailand from its source in China’s Tibetan plateau.   

The Mekong is a vital source of protein for 60 million people who live along its lower basin and is the world's largest inland fishery.

In Burma, more than 2,500 acres of fish ponds have been inundated throughout the country with losses estimated at about 25 million U.S. dollars, according to the Myanmar Fisheries Federation General Secretary Win Kyaing.

"Flooding was due to unprecedented rains and all the fish have gone with the flood waters," he said.

Farmers also lost their crops in the Pegu division, as paddy fields came under water for several days.

"They are getting some loans from the government for the next season but it is not sufficient. They are in great trouble," said former director-general of Burma's  department of meteorology, Tun Lwin.

In the northern Mandalay region, non-governmental organizations and local donors donated rice, cooking oil and drinking water when floods hit the area in early September.
 
In Thailand, the flood death toll had risen to 188 as the country was lashed by a series of tropical storms since late July. Nearly two million people have been affected by floods and mudslides, and 122 roads were impassable.

The damage was not along the Mekong areas but mostly from rising flood levels in the key Chao Phraya River and other smaller rivers.

More than two million acres (809,371 hectares) of farmland in Thailand were also under water early this week, an area 11 times the size of Singapore, Reuters reported.

Thailand is the world's biggest rice exporter and its main rice crop of the year is normally harvested from October.

Follow the Mekong and feel good about it

Sustainable listings ... Cambodia's Angkor Wat. Photo: Reuters

Guide follows the Mekong
From hand-woven silk in Laos to a heritage hotel in Cambodia, responsible tourism operators in the Mekong region will be easier to find with the launch of a new online guide.

Spanning Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and the Guangxi and Yunnan provinces of China, the project is funded entirely by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs based in Thailand and Cambodia.

The e-guide's 193 listings so far include operators working at a national or regional level, boutique hotels and home stays, hotels, museums, fair-trade shops, handicraft workshops and restaurants.
On the list are Luang Prabang's homeware's shop Ma Te Sai (meaning "where is it from?") and Phnom Penh's The Pavilion, a 20-room boutique hotel of Khmer-French colonial architecture 100 metres from the Royal Palace.

A spokeswoman for Mekong Responsible Tourism, Christine Jacquemin, says the guide aims to shine a light on small and medium-sized tourism enterprises, many of which don't have the financial or human resources to market themselves on the world stage.

She says there are two target markets: independent travellers who want their journeys to be a learning experience and overseas operators looking to add reliable local businesses to their itineraries.
Applicants were scored and included based on how they contributed to social, cultural and environmental sustainability. A French-language version of the guide is under way.


Grand tours of Europe
Of the 46 nation states in Europe, Insight Vacations has 42 of them covered next year in an expanded Europe and Britain collection of escorted tours.

There are 22 new itineraries on a schedule of more than 100, including an expansion of its "gold" luxury itineraries and more options and destinations in eastern Europe - among them a 17-day Grand Tour of Russia and Ukraine.

One of the new trips is close to the heart of Insight's global chief executive, John Boulding. He lives on the island of Guernsey, which has been added to a tour of the quirky Channel Islandsdevised by travellers who belong to the company's online forum.

Australians comprise the lion's share (38 per cent) of Insight's global clients, who travel in luxury coaches configured with business-class leg room. Boulding says there are 149 new hotels included this year, many of them five-star, and a focus on fine dining and "authentic" meals off the beaten track.

The seven-day Channel Islands tour costs from $1985 a person, twin share; a 12-day Ukraine and the Crimea tour costs from $4599 a person, twin share. See insightvacations.com.

Saffire treatment
The five-star treatment for those headed to Saffire on Tasmania's Freycinet Peninsula will now start at Hobart Airport.
On landing, guests will be escorted to the new Saffire Lounge in the airport with refreshments, wi-fi and shower, while bags are collected and loaded into the chauffeur-driven vehicle for the three-hour drive to the east coast.

On departure from the 20-suite resort overlooking the Hazards Mountains, Freycinet Peninsula and Great Oyster Bay, guests will again be able to use the airport lounge while staff handle luggage. Rooms cost from $1450 a night.

Polar expedition addition
The Akademik Sergey Vavilov will join Akademik Ioffe as a second polar expedition vessel for One Ocean Expeditions trips. With a capacity of 105 passengers (but limited to 92), the Vavilov's rooms, bar and restaurant will be refurbished before sailing in Antarctica next year, followed by the 2013 Arctic season. Both vessels were built in Finland in the late 1980s for the Russian Academy of Science and both were engaged in hydro-acoustic research, with stability a feature - a plus in challenging waters such as Drake Passage.

Join the steam team
Another school term complete, another school holiday calendar to fill.

For Thomas the Tank Engine obsessives, family days will be held at Trainworks at Thirlmere on October 8 and 9. The Fat Controller, Henry and Donald will also be at the event with jumping castles, inflatable slide and face painting.

Trainworks is about an hour's drive south on the M5 from Sydney's central business district; that's the Thomas and Friends theme tune sung 43 times. Entry costs $35 for adults, children (2-16 years) $25.

Foreign Investment Brings Cambodia Growth, New Issues

Foreign Investment Brings Cambodia Growth, New Issues

Ron Corben | Bangkok

A train prepares to start during the official recommencement of commercial train services on a rehabilitated rail corridor in Phnom Penh October 22, 2010.

Cambodian officials say the country's economic growth rate is set to exceed seven percent this year. According to financial analysts even if the global economy slows, Cambodia is well prepared to deal with it, partly because of strong foreign investment. But the billions of dollars flowing into the country are also raising concerns about the political and social impact from massive development projects.

Cambodia has posted strong economic growth in the two years since the 2008 global financial crisis. Foreign investment, a growing tourism industry and a strong agricultural sector have been key to that growth.


The country's garment and textiles sector is also doing well, with exports set to rise by 40 percent this year.


"The Cambodian economy is probably in the best shape it has ever been in - absent is what is going on the rest of the world," said Stephen Higgins, chief executive officer for ANZ Royal Bank in Phnom Penh. "The economic growth this year we think will be in the range of seven to eight percent, and the normal global environment we would expect probably eight to 10 percent in the next few years."


But Higgins says inflation must be kept under control, especially with regard to rising food prices.


Despite economic uncertainty in Europe and the United States, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimated growth this year at 6.8 percent and only expects the rate to decrease slightly next year.


Analysts say foreign investors from Japan are seeking alternatives to China and Thailand. They are joining long standing regional investors such as Vietnam and South Korea.


But China remains the country's top investor. Chinese state media report that investors have poured in about $5.5 billion in the first seven months of the year.


Among the investments is a luxury property development project worth $3 billion. China has also provided money for hydropower and road construction. And two of China's leading banks, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Bank of China, opened branches in Cambodia this year.


ADB senior economist Peter Brimble says while funds from China are welcome, Chinese aid can be restrictive.


"Chinese aid is extremely tied; [there is] no bidding.  It's quite likely - especially if it's a loan rather than a grant - you may actually be paying more for what you are getting just because the Chinese don't believe in competitive bidding. I think the government knows that."


Critics say China's economic influence is linked to its political concerns. They point to an incident in 2009 when Cambodia deported 20 Muslim ethnic Uighurs who sought asylum after fleeing violence in China. Soon after their departure, a senior Chinese official arrived in Cambodia to sign 14 trade deals worth $850 million.


David Carter, president of the Australian Business Association of Cambodia, says Cambodia has welcomed investment from China.


"Certainly it has a big influence on the place," said Carter.  "Bridges and roads are being built. So there's a feeling that a lot of Chinese money around the place, but I think most people are aware it will come with obligations attached. So it's good, but you have to pay your bills back at some time."


The development projects funded by those investments can have a dramatic impact on one of South East Asia's poorest nations. While officials have welcomed investments in upgrading Cambodia's infrastructure, there have also been thousands of evictions to make way for new projects. In 2010, rights groups estimate 30,000 people were forced from their homes by mining, agriculture and hydropower projects.


The Housing Rights Task Force, a rights group that has been critical of government resettlement policies, says up to 150,000 people may be evicted in the coming years.  They say at least 80,000 evictions could occur in the capital, Phnom Penh.


Hang Chayya, director of the Khmer Institute for Democracy, says foreign investors must respect human rights in order to maintain long term relationships in Cambodia.


"Any bilateral relationship with China has to be done on one that respects human rights and democracy in the country," said Chayya.  "And this is what is not happening in the government taking the option of dealing with China."


Cambodia's economic performance will be highlighted in 2012, when Phnom Penh hosts the annual meetings of the regional Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).


Analysts say Cambodia's economic future increasingly lies with the fortunes of its close neighbors Thailand, Vietnam and Laos, and its distant neighbor to the north, China.

Engineers Without Borders helps Cambodia

By Luke Shaffer | September 30, 2011 | News

Training Institute in Cambodia. Cambodia students learn the

Twelve-to-16 Fresno State engineering students annually travel oversees to support community-driven development programs and help poor communities become more industrialized.
“Engineers Without Borders really opened my eyes to the world and gave me an experience that I will never forget,” Fresno State student Jameson Schwab said.
EWB-USA sends a team of students from Fresno State every year to Cambodia to construct a project. This year in December, 10 students will be sent to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.
“Our role for this semester and project is to design, prototype, build and test a vertical access wind turbine,” Carson Schafer, Fresno State mechanical engineer and leading mechanical officer for EWB-USA, said. “We will then teach the Cambodian students [at the National Technical Training Institute] how to use it and the basic functions behind the concept of the wind turbine.”
Fresno State engineering student and EWB-USA President Daisy Manivong hopes that in addition to helping Cambodian villages improve their lifestyle by providing electricity, the engineering program will continue to thrive and improve other communities.
Manivong added that she perceives EWB-USA as a club that opens up opportunities to all Fresno State students.
“Since my freshman year I have been involved in the organization and my goal is to continually keep the club going because it benefits not only engineer students, but other majors as well,” Manivong said.
In December EWB-USA will be sending a team of students comprised of mechanical, electrical and civil engineers who will travel to Cambodia to construct a wind turbine.
“I hope we end up with a good team that goes to Cambodia and does the project well,” Manivong added.
“Fresno State students will benefit from this program by not only learning,” Manivong said. “They will be able to take [that knowledge] to their fields.” Manivong encourages all students to get involved in EWB-USA.
Fresno State professor Michael Jenkins said Associated Students, Inc., contributes from $10,000 to $15,000 through the Student Instructionally Related Activities program to EWB-USA.
“Our main challenge is funding and getting support from sponsors. But we’ve been helped by IRA a lot,” added Manivong.
Another challenge for EWB-USA is language barriers. This challenge is through training, language and cultural classes.
“The impact we made as a group in Cambodia will always be something I can be proud of,” Schwab said “Knowing we helped other students and showed them new things is something this organization has done for the past few years and will keep doing for years to come.”

Cambodia and Vietnam slideshow fundraiser for The Global Child school

Posted: Friday, September 30, 2011 12:15 am

By Chronicle Staff | 0 comments

A slideshow about Cambodia and Vietnam will be presented Tuesday, Oct. 4, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Emerson's Weaver Room as a fundraiser for The Global Child school in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Dennis Curran has spent the last two winters traveling in Cambodia and Vietnam. His slideshow features ancient temples of Angkor Wat and Prei Kuk, jungle treks, the Mekong Delta region, Saigon, Hoi An, the Central Highlands of Vietnam, Ha Long Bay, and the people and cultures of both countries.

The Global Child is a non-profit school based in Siem Reap that offers bright enthusiastic street-working children the opportunity to pursue a course of study in a nurturing and empowering environment. The school opened in Phnom Penh on May 16, 2004, but because of safety considerations, TGC moved to its new location in Siem Reap in April 2008.
This second annual fundraiser is free and open to all ages, though checks payable to The Global Child Inc. will be greatly appreciated. Food and refreshments will be served' guests are welcome to bring homemade goodies.
More information is online at www.theglobalchild.org, or call Curran at 582-3491.

Address at the 32nd ASEAN Inter Parliamentary Assembly Summit

Address at the 32nd ASEAN Inter Parliamentary Assembly Summit

Phnom Penh, September 20th, 2011

Samdech Akka Moha Thomak Pothisal Chea Sim, President of Senate,
Samdech Akka Moha Ponhea Chakrei Heng Samrin, President of the National Assembly,
Excellency, Ladies, Head of Delegate and Observed Countries,
H.E. Antonio Cuenco, Permanent Secretary General of AIPA,
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished National and International Guests! 

Today, it is my great pleasure and honor to participate in the 32th ASEAN Inter Parliamentary Assembly Summit, in which the National Assembly has the privilege to host such an important Summit. On behalf of the Royal Government and Cambodian people, I would like to express my very warm welcome to Excellencies, Ladies, Gentlemen, head and member of delegate, special observers and all distinguished gests to come to Phnom Penh to participate in this 32th ASEAN Inter Parliamentary Assembly Summit.
Taking this opportunity, I would like to share with your Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen a number of views in relation to the achievements made by ASEAN, along with the important efforts and role played by the Inter Parliamentary Assembly, in continuously supporting its activities and mission to enable ASEAN to overcome all challenges in realizing the ASEAN community by 2015. Indeed, ASEAN has become a real mature association in the region and the globe over the past 44 years. Currently, ASEAN is moving on its right track, reflecting in its active role in political, economic and social dialogue and cooperation with other key stakeholders.
In addition, through its determination and along with the government’s efforts as well as those efforts of the people and relevant partners, ASEAN has in the recent years made many great achievements in the economic, social and cultural sectors. However, in the world that is characterized by dynamic changes, I am of the view that ASEAN still face numerous domestic and external challenges that we need to jointly address toward achieving the establishment of “ASEAN Community” by 2015 and beyond. Indeed, ASEAN leaders have been working actively to cope with these issues. Among those achievements, we had adopted the ASEAN Charter as well as Roadmap and ASEAN Community Blueprint comprising of 3 key pillars including“ASEAN Political-Security Community, ASEAN Economic Community, and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community” with the objective to narrow development gap among ASEAN member states.
Taking this opportunity, I would like to highlight a number of key achievements made by ASEAN so far from implementingASEAN Charter and the Roadmap for ASEAN Community 2015 and other challenges that ASEAN need to address in establishing the ASEAN Community and connecting ASEAN to global community.
Indeed, ASEAN Charter was formulated with smooth structural operation, new organization of ASEAN as well as effective necessary legal documents to create legal foundation and institutional framework for establishment of ASEAN Community and deeper regional integration.  Despite these, ASEAN must have full legal and institutional framework that is in conformity to ASEAN Charter, including creating institutional mechanism for conflict resolution, increasing ASEAN institutional operation efficiency, strengthening coordination between operating agencies and bolstering resource mobilization to promote implementation of initiatives. In this spirit, I think that ASEAN not only reach higher stage in due course of community building, but also is capable of transforming itself into full-fledged legal-based institution.
                   
At the same time, with respect to forming ASEAN Political-Security Community we have made much remarkable progress. Key dialogues and frameworks for cooperation have been set up and organized regularly at all levels. These are factors that are to strengthen mutual understanding and trust among member states. Particularly, Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC), The Southeast Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty (SEANWFZ), The Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC),and the ASEAN Convention on Counter Terrorism a have become key instruments for ensuring regional security.
At the same time, process of formation of Asean Economic Association is in a good progress. We have established Asean Free Trade Area to serve for the exchange of goods, services, investments in coincidence with implementation of “Single Window Service” and trade facilitation. It is worth noting that ASEAN is currently dwelled by more than 600 million people, generating USD 1700 billion of GDP, with strong economic growth, political stability, growing numbers of middle-income class and endowed with natural resources. Indeed, these qualifications do not only reflect the potential of domestic growth of ASEAN, but also reflects ASEANs economic attractiveness toward other external partners as well. Nevertheless, the reduction in development gap between ASEAN member countries remains challenge to ensure competitiveness, attractiveness and achieving of regional integration. In the sense, I contend that Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity is one of the most comprehensive plans which were formulated to create ASEAN Economic Community.
Obviously, to meet these goals ASEAN needs to cooperate with all partners such as Asean+1, Asean+3 and other partners to support the implementation of Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity in terms  of both hard and soft infrastructure, in particular the connection of road, railway, airway and waterway. In this spirit, I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that the Royal Government of Cambodia gave high priority to transport infrastructure in order to promote internal integration and connectivity to neighboring countries in the region.  
The new development of global economy poses additional challenges on ASEAN. For the medium term, ASEAN must pay high attention to boosting domestic economic growth through diversification of growth base, expanding regional cooperation and acceleration of regional integration to sustain economic growth in the context of post-global-financial-crisis. These policy measures require us to double our effort to urgently achieve of adopted plans of actions and other initiatives. These require us to prioritize, facilitate and classify our work flow in order to avoid overlapping of efforts and utilizing of resources for the implementation of programs and various initiatives under the inter sub-regional, regional and a wider ASEAN Framework such as the East Asian Cooperation Framework.
In addition, regarding to the establishment of the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) we have achieved many remarkable progresses as well, but recent changes in the world’s situation have put pressure on us to continue working hard to address a number of key challenges. Some of them are regional issues; and others are global issues but they have strongly impacted our region as a whole in terms of human resource development, disasters management, and climate change and so on. Truly, ASEAN has clearly foreseen all these challenges, and has actively imposed measures aimed to promote internal cooperation within ASEAN as well as the cooperation between ASEAN with its relevant partners in order to ensure effective solutions to the problems.
We all have acknowledged that all these great achievements made by ASEAN so far could not be separated from the active support of the parliaments of the ASEAN member states. Indeed, if there were no close cooperation and supports from the representing parliaments of each ASEAN member, the ASEAN members’ governments would not have been able to timely and effectively respond to recent challenges with quality outcomes. In addition, the success of coming out of the 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis and, particularly the 2008-2009 global financial crisis were stemmed from the firm support of the parliaments of the ASEAN member states. In parallel, the timely support for the stimulus package policy not only made the ASEAN economy recover quickly but also enabled it to achieve high growth as well. In addition, the Cambodia’s economy, after falling to nearly a zero growth rate in 2009, has recovered with 6% growth in 2010 and about 7% in 2011 based on a cautious forecast. This recovery will help Cambodia to reduce poverty its rate by around 1% per annum.
In this spirit, in order to achieve the implementation of action plans and other initiatives that we have adopted so far, particularly to timely respond to the challenges and establish a real ASEAN Community, ASEAN is in great needs for continued supports of the ASEAN members’ parliaments. Indeed, within the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary framework, the Royal Government of Cambodia believes that the 32nd ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) will provide great contribution to promote the ASEAN integration especially the reduction in the development gaps within ASEAN, which is the strong wish of many new member states including Cambodia. In this view, the collective effort to reduce the development gaps is a necessary and indispensable factor to ensure the competition and protection of ASEAN CENTRALITY role toward the establishment of the ASEAN COMMUNITY by 2015.
At the same time, in order to promote the reputation and the role of ASEAN as a strong regional organization with collective strategy and consistent and compromised position, ASEAN necessarily needs to get involved in addressing key global challenges such as global economic crisis, climate change, natural disaster management, prevention of contagious diseases as well as the fight against cross borders crime and terrorism and so on.
On behalf of the Royal Government and Cambodian people, I believe that this Inter-Parliamentary Assembly will provide further support for ASEAN in reducing the development gaps in the region and the effort of member state in reducing poverty. In order to achieve this work, I believe and understand that we inevitably need to further continue the reforms. We all know that reforms could not be achieved overnight or finished with one giant step. Reforms need to be carried out consistently and continuously. Cambodia will continue adhering to its firm principles in order to strengthen and expand its efforts more vigorously aimed to make reforms more in-depth and comprehensive through the improvement in the state of law, provision of new opportunities and hope for all Cambodian people in the future.
Finally, I would like to wish the 32nd ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) success and fruitful results, which will make important contribution to the promotion for progress, prosperity, and happiness of the people of member states of our ASEAN region.  I would like to wish Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen who are the delegates and observers of friend countries good health, success in your tasks, safety, happiness, unforgettable and good experiences during your stay in the Kingdom of Cambodia, the great land of Angkor. I also wish you all the four gems of Buddhist blessing: Longevity, Nobility, Health and Strength.
