AKIPRESS.COM - Two days after returning from a weekslong trip to Europe, opposition leader of Cambodia Sam Rainsy was set last night to leave Cambodia for a two-week trip to Mongolia, Japan and South Korea, The Cambodia Daily reports.

“I am leaving tonight at around midnight. It’s for a number of meetings,” Rainsy said Thursday, explaining that he would attend meetings of the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats in Mongolia before going to Japan to meet lawmakers and Foreign Ministry officials.

“We will mainly discuss the election process and the assistance that Japan has committed themselves to providing, and what our concerns are. But on the whole it will be a positive message.”
