Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen on tuesday lamented Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva’s weakness over his declaration to seal the border between the two countries.
Hun Sen’s declaration comes after Bangkok leaders confirmed that they will seal the Thai-Cambodia border.
The two countries diplomatic ties have slipped after Cambodia appointed fugitive former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Sinawatra as the premier Hun Sen’s advisor and a Government advisor on economic work.
The Thai Government recalled its ambassador to Phnom Penh.
“Do not say or put penalty with Cambodia as this country was used to be under pressure from many foreign countries,” the premier said during the 30th anniversary of NGO engagement in Cambodia.
Cambodian Government officials confirmed that if Thailand seals border, it Thailand will lose more than Cambodia. According to a Commerce Ministry report, in 2008 Thailand exported goods worth US$2 billion to Cambodia with Cambodian exports to Thailand worth around US$90 million.
“Some said that Hun Sen only talks to gain popularity, but it is not the same as anybody else near us taking the prime ministerial Post by robbing power,” the premier added.
