MANILA (AFP): War-torn Cambodia may be formally admitted as ASEAN's 10th member during formal ceremonies toward the end of April, Philippine Foreign Secretary Domingo Siazon said on Monday.

Siazon, a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) "troika" on Cambodia, said Vietnam was arranging for a date when all ASEAN foreign ministers can attend the special admission ceremony in Hanoi.

Asked if there was a consensus among ASEAN on Cambodia's entry to the organization, he said: "Yes, it's just the date."
