Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva should not have threatened any other countries as they all have sovereignty, deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra said in his twitter @thaksinlive late Friday night.

He was responding to the remark by Mr Abhisit that if Cambodian prime minister is to appoint Thaksin as his economic advisor, Mr Hun Sen must give explanation to him or ties between Thailand and Cambodia could be affected.

“As the leader of Asean, Mr Abhisit should act mannerly and try to provide warm hospitality for the country’s very important guests. The premier must also be concerned about international relationship”, Thaksin said, adding that he warned Mr Abhisit as he is more senior than him in every fields.

“Even though Mr Abhisit is inconsiderate to Mr Hun Sen, he should be considerate to other leaders of governments and heads of states attending the Asean summit”, said the deposed premier.

He suggested the government ask for cooperation from the neighbouring country through diplomatic system, not threatening.

Thaksin also attacked Minister of Foreign Affairs Kasit Pirom for destroying relationships with the countries that allowed him to enter their territories.

“Wherever I went, Mr Kasit would fly there and threatened to cut trade and investment ties with those countries. The ministry was set up to create good relationship with the international community or to destroy it”, he questioned.
