Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday said that Cambodia and Thailand have never had good relations to each other when the Thai Democrat party holds power. “When the Democrat (party) holds power in Thailand, we have never had smooth a relationship,” he said during a scholarship award ceremony at a university in Phnom Penh.
“Cambodia will wait to see about good relations with Thailand,” he said. “We expect it will have good relation with the next Thai government.”
The yellow shirts linked to the ruling Thai party have demanded Cambodia’s 11th century Preah Vihear temple be given to Thailand, he added. “We have never interfered Thai internal affairs,” the premier said, highlighting that former Thai PM Chuan Lee Pai tried to bar Cambodia’s membership of ASEAN. Lee said at that time that Cambodia had no senate.
“The main matter between Thailand and Cambodia is Thailand troops invaded Cambodia soil and occupied areas at Cambodia Buddhist pagoda near 11th century Preah Vihear temple,” Hun Sen continued, stressing his friendship for former Thai PM Thaksin, now a Cambodian government economic advisor. “He is my friend,” the premier said.
Cambodia has terminated all projects provided by the Thai government but a Thai General who sent by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn confirmed that all projects of a high school in Kompong Thom province belong to the Princess, not the Thai government.
“I agreed to continue those projects because it is not Thai government’s project but it belongs to Thai Princess Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn,” the PM said, adding that the Princess’s project and the Ministry of Education will send over 100 student to Thailand.
