TOKYO - PRIME Minister Yukio Hatoyama on Saturday said Japan was 'concerned' about the recent spat between Cambodia and Thailand over Phnom Penh's job offer to a fugitive former Thai premier, an official said.

'I'm concerned about the recent situation,' Mr Hatoyama told his visiting counterpart Hun Sen at a bilateral meeting, as quoted by a Japanese foreign ministry official.

'I hope the problem between the two countries will improve' as they are important neighbours in the Mekong River region, Mr Hatoyama said.

Mr Hun Sen said 'the situation in border areas is stable although there have been verbal exchanges between the two countries over the past two-to-three months,' according to the Japanese official.

The bilateral meeting came after Japan's summit talks with five Mekong River countries, which also include Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. There was no bilateral talk between Mr Hun Sen and Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva the Japanese foreign ministry knows of, the official said.

Mr Hatoyama had a separate meeting later on Saturday with Mr Abhisit, who said he wanted to 'keep the problem from worsening,' the official said.

The Thais are a bunch of loonies ultra-nationalists...What is the matter with them??? It's true that Cambodia do not have economic experts, that's why Samdech Hun Sen imports foreign know-how like Lee Myung Bak and now Thaksin. The Thais are ingrateful bastards who owe so much to Cambodia for the past 800 years. They are imperialists who can not exert control beyond their borders...Instead of fostering fraternal friendship between our two peoples (Khmer-Thai) which share so much in common, they choose the wrong path to self-destruction and humiliation. In the eyes of the world, they are indeed a crazy disturbed people...

Why Jaopanese worries about Cambodia when they were the ones who helped Phan Boi Chau and Thais to take over Cambodia? Bastard Japanese.
If Japanese think Hun Sen should send Thaksin to Bangkok, then Japanese should send Alberto Fujimori back to Peru to stand trial and to go to jail.

To Hun Sen (Leader of the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime)

Since you and the CPP assassinated, executed, killed and murdered jurnalists, political opponents, leaders of the free trade union, innocent men, innocent women and innocent children;

Do you have any plan to assassinate the Thai prime minister (Abhisit Vejjajiva)?

Are you going to send Brigade 70 (Hun Sen's Death Squad Unit) to assassinate the Thai prime minister (Abhisit Vejjajiva)?

Is it true, you only kill your own peoples, you will not kill Thai and Veitnamese peoples that cannot get enough of our land?

Is it true, you only kill innocent Khmer peoples with no weapon in their hands?
