Suthep ignores Hun Sen's blast

17/12/2009

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban on Thursday declined to respond to Cambodian premier Hun Sen comments that Thai-Cambodian relations will not improve as long as the Democrat-led government remains in office.

"I will not respond to Prime Minister Hun Sen's comment because the situation isn't good at the moment," the Democrat secretary-general said. "The Thai government must be patient in the face of the frequent criticism emanating from Cambodia."

He said the government did intend to send ambassador Prasas Prasasvinitchai back to Phnom Penh, but diplomatic ties between the two countries would not improve if Cambodia maintains its unyielding stance.
