Phnom Penh  - Cambodia's prime minister will attend next month's summit of the Association of Sout East Asian Nations (ASEAN) in neighboring Thailand despite hinting last week he would boycott the meeting, media reports said Monday.

Prime Minister Hun Sen said last week that attending this year's series of ASEAN meetings would be too costly and time consuming, but Foreign Minister Hor Namhong told The Phnom Penh Post newspaper that the premier definitely would attend.

"Some countries prohibit Muslim uniforms in schools. Cambodia allows it ... it is up to the individual," he said, in reference to headscarves sometimes worn by Muslim women.
