On behalf of the initiators of the petition, we are very touched by everyone's support and would like to express our deep gratitude to our brothers, sisters, friends, sympathizers around the globe for your show of support for our homeland.

We truly believe that the Khmer land, tradition, and culture will still be around among peace loving people and nations, and we will strive to contribute to the world peace building effort as a member of the family of nations.

Sinecerly,

The sons and daughters of the Khmer Nation

We, the Khmer people, would like to notify Your Excellencies that the Royal Government of Cambodia is publishing a newly drawn map of land border for Kingdom of Cambodia and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

We are deeply concerned over the publication of the new map because it appears to be: on one hand, conflicting with the existing official reference map recognized as such by the constitution of Kingdom of Cambodia regarding her sovereignty ― Chapter I, Article 2; on the other hand, infringing upon Cambodia’s territorial integrity, particularly the new demarcations along the eastern borderlines.

We wish to call your attention that the spirits of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements and the existing official reference map placed in UN have already assured the Sovereignty, Independence, Territorial Integrity and Inviolability, Neutrality and National Unity of Cambodia.

We therefore, are calling upon all Members of Parliament to take necessary steps to urge the Constitutional Council of Cambodia to reject the legality of the newly drawn map.

Please Your Excellencies, accept our sincere gratitude and regards.
