HC Deb 20 November 1986 vol 105 cc311-2W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement following his discussions with His Excellency Son Sann.

Mr. Renton

When Mr. Son Sann, President of the Khmer People's National Liberation Front (KPNLF), called on 11 November, my right hon. and learned Friend and I reaffirmed our strong support for the principled stand of the Cambodian resistance against Vietnamese aggression. We pledged continued humanitarian assistance for the KPNLF and its non-Communist resistance partner led by Prince Sihanouk. We are also pledged to continue our contribution to the international relief effort for Cambodian refugees and our political support for all efforts aimed at securing a peaceful solution to the Cambodian conflict in line with past resolutions of the United Nations and the proposals of the international conference on Kampuchea. Mr. Son Sann expressed his gratitude for our support, and the resolve of the resistance to continue the struggle against the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia.
