Kampuchean talks fail
NZPA-Reuter Paris Resistance groups are spurning diplomacy and planning to grab slices of Kampuchea as bargaining chips when Vietnam pulls its troops out, now that a French peace plan is in shambles, diplomats said yesterday. The Vietnamese-backed Government and Khmer
Rouge-dominated resistance aborted two days of Paris peace talks with no promise that any Kampu-\ chean faction would join a 20-nation peace conference on Kampuchea due to open in Paris on Sunday. “The resistance saw failure coming in Paris. It is preparing for the with-
drawal of Vietnamese troops and plans to punch in to seize territory to use as a bargaining tool with Phnom Penh,” a Bangkokbased diplomat said. “You have got world statesmen coming this week-end and France is handing them a can of worms,” another western envoy said.
