PHNOM PENH, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Commerce Minister ChamPrasidh on Sunday welcomed the Thai government's recent decision to stop its fruit export to Cambodia and cancel its annual product exhibition in the kingdom.
"Cambodia will not be affected" by this decision, he told Xinhua at the airport while receiving a senior Kuwaiti delegation.
It is a good thing that they stop fruit export and cancel product exhibition, because some Cambodians would become angry and destroy those products on show if they didn't do so, he said.
"It could make turmoil," he said, adding that the 20-day-long military standoff between the two countries at the border area has made the Cambodian people reluctant to buy Thai products.
Dispute over the ownership of the Preah Vihear Temple in the eponymous Cambodian province and the land around it has propelled both sides to station over a thousand troops at the border area since July 15. All diplomatic efforts have failed so far to retrieve the situation.
Trade volume between Cambodia and Thailand stood at 1.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2007, a 10.56 percent increase over 2006, according to the figures released by the Cambodian Commerce Ministry in March this year.

Long Live Kingdom of Cambodia!
We, all Cambodian people, stop using your products!
Go to the hell, Thai!
It's so shamefull for Cambodia who has huge unused land, huge amount of people with no works that keep on snicking illegally to Thailand to look for works and the keep on buying agriculture products from the country that keep on insulting Cambodia centuries after centuries.
It's time for the Cambodian government to put that to the past and start to work for the real profits for their own people. Thailand and Cambodia have the same quality of soil, why Cambodia have to depend on Thai export??? Please use this shamefull situation to make something positive for your own country. Do the present government have a gutt to do this thing or they just stand there to take advantage from the poverty of their own people so they can use as litle money as possible to buy votes to be able to vin the next election???
Wake up Khmers leaders!!!
How many more years you think you will live???
Can you commit yourselves to honestly serve your country ???
Ask if the present minister of agriculture has planted at least one lungan tree for in his whole life ??? If not, sack him.For me, I have planted more than 100 lungan trees, but at 8 year olds, it still doesn't bear fruit. The problem is we don't have the proper technic to make it bear fruits. Ask the agriculture ministry? Does the Cambodian ministry have any instruction about it??? The answer is ZERO!!!

I agree! It is mind boggling to see how stupid Cambodian government continues to depend on the fucken Thai to employ dirt poor Cambodian workers! The fact is most dirt poor Cambodian workers who came from Thailame still dirt poor than before! There is something so wrong with Cambodian economic cycle due misguided economic policies, economic mismanagement and high governmental corruption!
I never understand why the stupid fuck Cambodian leaders are willing to live under the shadow of Thai and the Viet until now! The stupid Cambodian government must demonstrate the know how in all economic field to ensure Cambodia prosperity and success as a nation!
It is a good news for Cambodia!!! Please stop import all kind of products from Siem forever. Now the Cambodia growth many kind of fruit so we don't need Siem fruit any more. Go to hell Siem!!!

Are there any good Thai out there? Stand up and stop this Khmer land enroachment nonsense and build Khmer-Thai relationship. We have so much more to gain by build good bilateral with mutual respect rather than trying to take Khmer land. You have taken so much Khmer land already. Any pea brain person can tell that. You can twised and turned all reasons to make history is your all you want, true and fact are alway there. Peace come to you only when you accept the fact of who you are, that was Buddha became the Enlighten One when he accepted of who he was. If Thai claim they are Buddhist Nation should embrace Buddhist Teaching, otherwise the mother earth (Neang Konghinge) will open the eartth and burry you all...Something worth to think about!
