Cambodia seeks immediate cease fire to end three year war
Phnom Penh proposed an unconditional cease-fire to end the three year war with Khmer Rouge and North Vietnamese allies.

He labeled Sihanouk’s peace talks stance as not representing the insurgents. Government forces were repelled from Prey Phhau as insurgents counterattacked after holding a village along Highway 4.
