Whakaotihia te rerenga kōrero e whai ake nei: I te tau 1979, Vietnam
I whakaekehia, i nohoia hoki a Cambodia (i taua wa i whakahaeretia e te Khmer Rouge hei Democratic Kampuchea) i whakatu i te People's Republic of Kampuchea, engari i whakakahoretia e te People's Republic of China hei "tumuaki". I taua wa, i tautohetia e nga whenua e rua nga kereme mo te mea ko ia anake te kaitohutohu tika mo te iwi Khmer katoa o Cambodia i te United Nations. Na tenei i mau tonu ai te nohoanga o te Kawanatanga Whakawhanaunga o Democratic Kampuchea, he kawanatanga whakakotahitanga i hangaia i te 1982 hei kawanatanga i te whakaraunga me te roopu o te roopu rangatira o FUNCINPEC, te Republican Khmer People's National Liberation Front me te Khmer Rouge-i tautokohia e te Pāti o Democratic Kampuchea.
