PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Leaders of Cambodia’s ruling and opposition parties met Tuesday for talks aimed at ending a yearlong political deadlock since last year’s contentious election.

Eight representatives from the two camps, including Prime Minister Hun Sen and opposition leader Sam Rainsy, met in a closed-door meeting at the Senate office in Cambodia’s capital amid tightened security, as more than 100 local and foreign journalists waited outside.
