Tuesday, 24 August 2010 01:28 DAP NEWS / VIBOL
CAMBODIA, PHNOM PENH, AUGUST 24, 2010-The Cambodian foreign ministry announced on Monday that the Cambodian government will send ambassador back to Bangkok On Wednesday (25 August) after Thai side announced it will send its ambassador back to Phnom Penh on Tuesday (24 August).
“ Cambodia will send the ambassador back on Wednesday and Thai side will send its ambassador tomorrow,” koy Khoung, spokesman for foreign ministry said.
The two countries mended its diplomatic relation after former Thai PM Thaksin on Monday resigned from the position of economic advisor to Cambodian government. Dr. Thaksin said himself that he could not resume “fully implement” his position because he has own difficulties.
On Monday 23 of August, 2010 is the day that Cambodia and Thailand mended the diplomatic ties and it is a good for two peoples to resume relation equally after Thailand terminated the relation in 2009 and Thailand recalled its ambassador back to the country when Cambodia had appointed former Thai PM as economic advisor.
At that time, Cambodia told Thailand back. Why you sent its troop to invade area near 11th Khmer Preah Vihear temple. Who ordered those troops to occupy that location? Thai troops fired a local market in front of the temple.
Now, the next step, both sides will look for the time to go to the area to measure and reach to plant border markers. Thai people will get benefits from the tourists to see Preah Vihear temple.
The opposition of management plan of Preah Vihear temple from Thailand will continue or what.
ASEAN will not lose hope. The reputation of ASEAN will go on and the good image for bilateral deal between Cambodia and Thailand will show the model for other countries. The two countries could not move to locate other places. But now they need to live peacefully. People love each other.
On July 15, 2008, Thai troops invade Cambodia through secret map. Thailand should use international treaty in 1904 with Cambodia to deal border. Thailand has to stop talking about that opposition of management plan of Preah Vihear. if not so, it resumes the conflict. Go to measure it is better.
Cambodian Gov’t Thanked Former PM Thai Thaksin

CAMBODIA, PHNOM PENH, AUGUST 23, 2010-The Cambodian government on Monday announced that former PM Thai Thaksin Shinawatra has resigned from position as economic advisor and advisor to the government. PM Hun Sen accepted that resignation requirement from Mr. Thaksin and PM Hun Sen asked Cambodian King Norodom to terminate Mr. Thaksin’s position.
In the government’s statement today said that Former PM Thai Thaksin had contributed his brilliant ideas, views and valued experiences to help promote the competitive fields for Cambodia such as trade, investment, agriculture, and tourism.
Dr. Thaksin also helped attract many investors from foreign countries to address on those potential fields in the country.
“The Cambodian government would like to say thank for Dr. Thaksin that had contributed his ideas to boost Cambodian’s economic development,” the letter from the government said.
Dr. Thaksin said that he had personal matters and difficulties in fully implementing that role. I personally asked to resign, the letter said.
Cambodia and Thailand planned to mend their diplomatic ties after the bilateral relationship has soured when Thai troops had encroached Cambodia’s sovereignty near 11th Khmer Preah Vihear temple on July 15, 2008 a week after Cambodia successfully registered the temple as world heritage site with world heritage committee.
The latest development, PM Hun Sen asked the international communities including ASEAN community and UN to mediate for dealing border issues.
PM Hun Sen also asked SG UN Ban to help mediate after PM Thai Abhisit had threatened to use military forces to invade that area. Large scale armed conflict would occur if it does not have the deal, PM Hun Sen said in the letter to the international communities.
Thailand allegedly accused Cambodia of putting hands in internal affairs when Cambodia appointed former Thai PM Thaksin as economic advisor to PM Hun Sen and advisor of government but Cambodia refused that word. Cambodia urged Thailand to open eyes to see background of the conflict occurred because Thai troops invaded Cambodia’s territory near Preah Vihear temple.
Other matters that sparked the conflicts, current Thai Foreign Minister Kasit used to say bad words to look down on Cambodian PM Hun Sen while Kasit was in Yellow T-shirt Group and head of demonstrators who led the group to occupy the Sovanna Phoum Airport and blocked the airport. Kasit used to call PM Hun Sen “gentle man has heart of strong man,” and Kasit used to say. He will use the PM Hun Sen’s blood to wash his foot. Those words that PM Hun Sen could not accept and those words led to create some parts of dark sphere for the relations.
PM Hun Sen always threw the words back to Kasit. PM Hun Sen considered former PM Thaksin as immortal friend. PM Hun Sen always reviewed that he has known Dr. Thaksin for so long. So even Dr. Thaksin toppled through military coup in Bangkok but Dr. Thaksin is still his friend. “We know friend in difficulty situation,” PM Hun Sen said, adding the case of Dr. Thaksin is the same. Latest stance of Cambodia said that unless Thai side ratified the border deal that border committee talked for three times in the past years, The bilateral relation could resume.
