Seven months after the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia in April 1975, and forcibly emptied its capital, Phnom Penh, the Foreign Minister of neighbouring Thailand, Chatichai Choonhavan, travelled to Washington, D.C. There he met with the U.S. Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, and his Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Philip Habib. After an exchange of greetings, Kissinger informed Chatichai of U.S. President Gerald Ford’s forthcoming visit to China. He then asked Chatichai about his recent meeting with China’s Khmer Rouge ally, the new Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ieng Sary, brother-in-law of Pol Pot. |
