PHNOM PENH, Cambodia
(AP) — France and Cambodia
tqday called for evacuation of'-
all forelgn troopi from Viet-
namese territory. The call . _
came , in a joint declaration end-
ing President Charles de .
Gaulle’s official visit to thia------
Southeast Asian kingdom.
The Joint declaration, signed
by De GauUe and Prince Noro-
dom Sihanouk, Cambodian chief
of state, in the royal 'palace,
said France and Cambodia "sol-
emnly call attention to the ex-
treme gravity of the situation" -
in Southeast Asia.
"Despite the difference*
which have divided and still
divide the Vietnamese, it is es-
sentially the foreign intervention
which, in transforming a civil -
conflict, gave to the hostilities j.f;
their present dimenskms," the
communique added.
The two countries appealed
for "rigorous observance" of
the Geneva accords of 1954 — ^
that is "the respect of Viet
Nam’s independence and sover-
eignty and no interference in in-
terlpr affairs."
"At the same tints all acts of
war must cease on Vietnamese
territory, which implies that
any foreign power which has in-
troduced troops there first of aO
make the engagement to retire
them in a set length of time and
to cease all intervention," the
communique said.
The declaration contained
some of the wording of De
Gaulle's speech Thursday, but
in his speech, De GauUe spoke
only of American military inter-
vention in Viet Nam and said
the United States must agree to
pull out its troops before nego-
tiation to end the mt is posst-
