PHNOM PENH (Xinhua) -- Sek Bunhok, chairman of the Cambodia's newly-formed National Election Committee (NEC), on Friday met with delegations from the European Union and Japan for the first time to seek their assistance for the process of the electoral reforms, NEC's spokesman Hang Puthea said.

The delegations were led by Jean-Francois Cautain, Ambassador of the European Union to Cambodia, and Japanese Ambassador to Cambodia Yuji Kumamaru.

"This was the first time that NEC's new leadership convened the meeting with the delegations," he told reporters after the meeting. "The Japanese Ambassador asserted that a Japanese expert would come to Cambodia in May to further study the possibilities to assist the NEC."

He said the NEC wanted EU and Japan to help prepare the new voter lists and educate voters about electoral laws and regulations.

Jean-Francois Cautain told reporters after the meeting that both EU and Japan are pleased to provide support to the NEC in order to ensure free and fair elections in the future.

The new NEC was officially formed on April 13 after Prime Minister Hun Sen, vice-president of the ruling Cambodian People's Party, and Sam Rainsy, president of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party, reached an agreement on July 22 last year to end the opposition's 10-month boycott of parliament following the 2013 elections.

Its 9-member leadership comprised four people chosen by each party, and one "neutral" person, who is not related to political parties

We as Khmer nation need to stop or avoid dependency on foreign country to lead or help . This mentality of depending some one for help before i can do instead of use your own brain to solve your nation problem is so insane.Khmer leadership have a deep mental deficiency and irritate disease of depending advise or help from foreign mind and lazy to use your own brain to resolve your own differentiation to govern your own political system . We have election in the past 30 years plus but still don't have precise mechanism to control our own electoral system, is it a shameful and really trouble society? because Khmer government don't want to recognized their own failure and incapacitate or call brain deficiency on their duty . Parties bickering, political buy out, power abuse and oppression electoral are the cause of discord and Khmer can't talk or reunited idea to save their own nation pride . If we can stop our different ideology and policy bickering we khmer can and will see the help from abroad is not necessary any more . Your guy forgot one thing very important that all of your are selected to work for Khmer and Khmer only, if your 9 brains can't find just a single solution to lead the country and solve the objective differentiation, Then Please quit, let some one or team can stay together with gut and conformity idea of national interest to create a united methodology for this new electoral with no depending foreign mind and mechanism for help . .
