PHNOM PENH, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian and Kuwaiti governments here Monday agreed not to support any military and economic intervention in the Iranian issues, said Cambodian Information Minister of government spokesman Khieu Kahnarith."

Both countries will not support any military actions against Iran," the minister told reporters after the premiers from the two sides held an hour-long talk in Phnom Penh.

The two sides do not want to see any military actions or economic embargo against Iran, because it can provide no benefit for the people, he said.

"Both Cambodia and Kuwait have endured miserable situation in the past and do not want it to be repeated in other countries," he said.

Meanwhile, Kuwait expects the western world and Iran to meet and seek peaceful deal, he added.

Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah arrived here Sunday for a three-day official visit at the invitation of his Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen. Both sides inked five agreements here Monday.

The United States has demanded that Iran meet weekend deadline to respond to an international package of incentives aimed at persuading Tehran to freeze uranium enrichment amid warnings of new sanctions.

Iran's nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili is scheduled to hold talks with the Europe Union's foreign policy chief Javier Solana Monday on the standoff over Iran's atomic drive.
