Cambodia's opposition boycotts new parliament

Cambodia's new parliament opened yesterday in the absence of the opposition parties which declared a boycott, and without King Norodom Sihanouk who refused to preside unless they agreed to attend.

The ceremony was instead led by Chea Sim, who is president of the Senate and the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), which was the only party to attend after the royalist FUNCINPEC and the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) stayed away.
