ASEAN integration concerns aired at grassroots event
Hundreds gathered on 16 November in Phnom Penh’s Freedom Park for the fifth Cambodian Grassroots People’s Assembly, where they called for issues ranging from deforestation to democracy to be addressed ahead of ASEAN integration.
About 700 people from the Cambodian Cross Sector Network, a group made up of 40 grassroots organisations, travelled from provinces around the country to attend the event.
