- Share via
PARIS — An international peace conference on Cambodia today agreed to dispatch an investigation team to that civil-war-torn country and set up a force to monitor a lasting peace there.
“This constitutes a great first step forward on the path which should provide a return to peace for this country,” French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas said.
With Indonesia, France is co-chair of the monthlong conference that began earlier this week. Parties at the meeting are seeking formation of an interim government before Vietnam, which installed Cambodia’s Communist regime, is scheduled to finish pulling its troops out of the country by Sept. 27.
