PHNOM PENH - THAKSIN Shinawatra was set to deliver a lecture in his new role as Cambodia's economic adviser on Thursday, amid tensions over Phnom Penh's refusal to extradite the fugitive former Thai premier.
The billionaire, ousted in a 2006 coup and living abroad to avoid jail for graft, planned also to visit the famed Angkor Wat temple and may play golf with Cambodian premier Hun Sen in the afternoon, said cabinet spokesman Phay Siphan.
Cambodia outraged Thailand by refusing its request to extradite Thaksin on Wednesday, saying the charges on which the ousted Thai leader had been sentenced in absentia to two years in prison were politically motivated.
Thaksin, slated to give a lecture to over 300 experts at the country's finance ministry Thursday morning, has pledged to help Cambodians understand finance, reduce poverty and lure more foreign investment.
He has been warmly received by close ally Hun Sen, although Cambodian officials have said he will only stay in the country for two or three days and is not intending to live there. When Thai diplomats handed over papers for Thaksin's extradition on Wednesday, Cambodian officials promptly handed them back a formal refusal letter.
In Bangkok, Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva condemned Cambodia's refusal to send Thaksin back, and said that he had halted aid programmes for the neighbouring country, which is still impoverished after decades of war.
