Cambodia says President Barack Obama due to attend Southeast Asia summit in November [-Will he? Will he not?]

Oct 30, 2012 Associated Press PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Cambodia’s foreign ministry says President Barack Obama is expected to visit Southeast Asia in mid-November. Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong said Tuesday that Obama will travel to the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The meeting of heads of state is due to take place Nov. 18-20, bringing together leaders of the 10-nation bloc. U.S. officials have declined to confirm Obama’s travel plans. Koy Kuong had no further details, but another senior Cambodian official said Obama is also expected to hold talks with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. Hun Sen has ruled Cambodia virtually unchallenged since a 1997 coup.
