PHNOM PENH, Feb 12 (AFP): Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy met with Prime Minister Hun Sen Sunday for the first time since a royal pardon allowed him to return home from exile and end his feud with the premier.
"We met to exchange information and exchange comments because I want to make a new (political) culture to find national solutions," Sam Rainsy told AFP.
On Monday the two are expected to attend the conclusion of a three-day peace march at the ancient royal capital of Oudong Mountain, in their first joint public appearance since Sam Rainsy's return, opposition officials said.
Sam Rainsy, who was sentenced in December to 18 months in prison, in part for defaming Hun Sen, ended his self-exile Friday after the premier successfully petitioned King Norodom Sihamoni to grant him a pardon.
