Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej arrived in Phnom Penh for a two-day visit Monday, to strengthen the relationship and bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
Senior government officials and staff, diplomats and high school students greeted the newly elected prime minister.
More than 1,000 people pressed around Phnom Penh International Airport early Monday morning to greet Samak, who met with King Norodom Sihamoni, Senate President Chea Sim and National Assembly President Heng Samrin, and Prime Minister Hun Sen later in the day.
"This visit is a good opportunity for the two prime ministers to exchange their opinions on strengthening the cooperation between the two countries," Foreign Minister Hor Namhong told reporters at the airport.
Samak and other leaders were expected to discuss the construction of National Road 48, from Koh Kong to National Road 4, National Road 67, from Anglong Veng to Siem Reap province, and National Road 68, from Chaom Ksan, in Preah Vihear province, to Aranyaprateth, Thailand, Hor Namhong said.
Hun Sen would not discuss a dispute over Preah Vihear temple, "because Preah Vihear temple belongs to the Cambodians, so there's no problem to talk about," Hor Namhong said.
Deputy Prime Minister Sok An will visit Thailand to hold talks with the Thai side on Preah Vihear soon, he said.

I don't get it.....Hun Sen not talk about it but Sok An will...who's calling the shot here.
This is contrading if Hun Sen and Sok An work for the same country.
First, we will listen to everything our brother Thai proposed. And then, we will considered everything carefully, and then we work with them on all proposals at hand. We will never turned our back on our brother as we did with the Kenyan's Dog (Ghai). Get it?
5:41, you called the Thai as brother? Which country were you born in? Is it Khmer or Thai blood that's running through your veins. If you're really Khmer, then your parents would be very disapointed. Ah krohpur vong veng bung. Ah Khmer khou kbal Thai. Doui prous mien mnonous doch ah terb srok Khmer tleak don dab. Chidon chita ah slab tov bet phnech min chit te.
Hun Sen did that right thing by not talking to the Thai on the subject of Preah Vihea because there is nothing to talk about, period.
I agreed with 5:07 completely. Hun Sen is the one who runs the country. So what the hell is Sok An doing? I think this is just politics. I hope he knows what he's doing. But, who knows... only time will tell.
5:56, when your brother or sister married to a foreigner, will he/she no longer be your brother or sister?
Furthermore, will you cut them off from your parent inheritances?
Unlike Gorilla Fuckers, I can never cut my own brother's or sister's throat just because they married to foreigners.
Hrmmmm.
When Khmer stop fighting each other?
When Khmer think about Khmer?
When Khmer have a real victory?
When when when when when????????
When we have no more land!
Anymore question?
