Cambodia is ready to join other ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member states to assist Myanmar on its path to normalcy, said a foreign ministry's statement on Tuesday.

"As a friend and a member of the ASEAN Community, Cambodia, like all other ASEAN member states and community at large, is closely following the situation in Myanmar and is saddened by the ongoing escalation of violence that has caused loss of lives," the statement said.

While respecting the core principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of member states, Cambodia has supported the ASEAN chairman's statement on the developments in Myanmar issued on Feb. 1, and the chair's statement on the Informal ASEAN Ministerial Meeting issued on March 2, to support a peaceful solution to the current crisis in Myanmar, it said.

"Cambodia is ready to join other ASEAN member states to assist Myanmar on her path to normalcy in any role and in any format that are in line with ASEAN principles-in our ASEAN Way-and that are agreeable to all," the statement said.

"In this spirit, Cambodia also supports the good offices of the Chairman of ASEAN and the Secretary-General of ASEAN in a positive, peaceful and constructive manner," it added.
