    • PHNOM PENH (Herald) - Prime Minister Hun Sen has confirmed that the Cambodia Development Cooperation Forum (CDCF), held by the government and foreign donors every year since 1993, will be suspended for two years and resume in 2014, Rasmei Kampuchea reported Sunday.

    Referring to mounting pressures over the Greek debt crisis and recent violence in Athens, the prime minister reportedly said that the meeting should not be held in such circumstances. 

    "Who will feel like announcing aid to Cambodia?," he was quoted as saying during a meeting with about 30 international and non-governmental organizations on Friday.

    "And if aid is smaller, people will definitely claim that donors cut off aid to Cambodia. So working with individual partners is better than holding the forum," he reportedly said.

    The newspaper noted that the annual CDCF meeting usually receives pledges of aid amounting to about one billion dollars a year.
