PHNOM PENH, June 8 (Xinhua) -- Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has rescheduled his visit to Cambodia this Friday, a Cambodian government official said Monday.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong told Xinhua that Abhisit will make a one-day official visit on Friday, and during which a handover of 7 pieces of Cambodian artifacts stolen by illegal smugglers will be officiated.
The Thai premier had earlier scheduled to visit Cambodia on April 18, but he cancelled it after the abrupt internal political problems.
According to Koy Kuong, Abhisit's visit to Cambodia will strengthen bilateral relations and the two countries' border issues that have turned into violence for nearly a year will be touched.
If the visit to Cambodia by Abhisit Vejjajiva is to be materialized as planned it will be his first ever official visit to this country since he came to office late last year.
It is a normal visit to be paid by any newly elected head of state or government to its neighboring countries, especially for those from among the 10 member states of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
ASEAN comprises of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
