Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Thursday that Cambodia will ask Indonesia to continue to act as mediator in 2012 when Cambodia would be ASEAN chair.

"Cambodia will be ASEAN chair in 2012, so Cambodia cannot play as both footballer and referee at the same time in the negotiation of the dispute with Thailand, " Hun Sen said during closing the national conference of the Ministry of Interior, which attended by 350 senior national police.

"So we will ask Indonesia to mediate the negotiations between Cambodia and Thailand on behalf of ASEAN. Cambodia will not use the role of ASEAN chair in negotiating with Thailand," he said. "This is a preliminary initiative," he said.

"Now, the most important thing, we wish, is Indonesia to send observers as soon as possible to the border," he said.

Hun Sen thanked Indonesia, as ASEAN chair, has played important role in convening the ASEAN foreign minister's meeting on Feb. 22, adding that the meeting has made very good results which were needed by Cambodia and Thailand, as well as the ASEAN.

The premier suggested that the first bilateral meeting between Cambodia and Thailand will be held in Indonesia with the presence of ASEAN chair or representative and the first meeting will be the defense ministerial one.
