US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised opposition Members of Parliament that she will help Sam Rainsy to return back to Cambodia because a democratic country cannot afford to miss the presence of its opposition leader.

This declaration was made during a press conference held the SRP headquarters in Phnom Penh after 4 SRP officials met with Mrs. Clinton between 4 to 5 PM on 01 November, at the US ambassador residence in Cambodia.

SRP MP Yim Sovann was confident that the US, as a Superpower, could help intervene so that Sam Rainsy could return back to Cambodia, and that the Cambodian people demand for democracy.
