Cambodia congratulates Pheu Thai Party on election win [-Rubbing salt on the Thai military's wound?]

PHNOM PENH, July 4 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia is happy to see Pheu Thai Party's landslide victory in the Thai parliamentary election and looking forward to working with the new Thai government on solving the border dispute, said Cambodian deputy Prime Minister and foreign minister Hor Namhong on Monday.

"We are delighted with the victory of Pheu Thai Party, we hope that the new government formed by the Pheu Thai Party will resolve border issues with Cambodia more positively than the previous government," he told reporters.

"Cambodia wants a fair and peaceful solution on border conflict, based on international laws, good neighborhood and friendship between Cambodian and Thai peoples, and the judgment of the International Court of Justice in 1962," he said.


Thailand's opposition Pheu Thai Party's candidate for prime minister Yingluck Shinnawatra declared victory while the ruling Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva conceded his party's defeat shortly after voting ended on Sunday.

Yingluck Shinawatra, the youngest sister of exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, is set to become the country's first female prime minister.

Cambodia and Thailand have had sporadic border conflict over territorial dispute near the Preah Vihear temple since the UNESCO listed the 11th century temple as a World Heritage Site on July 7, 2008.

Ok Hun Sen when you are defeated you should behave like a man and bow out like Abhisit Vejjajiva does by praising and congratulating the winner. But Khmer people think that you are not man enough to do that, Ah komsaak nhee.

Come on KI Media Team, there is no need to be attacking the Cambodian government when it is not called for.

It is simply a usual diplomatic courtesy to congratulate a winning party in the neighbouring country and you know that.

If Cambodia were to be run by the SRP or any opposition party, they would have done the same; no more and no less.

I am with you Anet Khmer, but the problem is if Abhisit Vejjajiva
won, there would not be any hasty congratulation.

Cambodia govt is so hurry to
congratulate new Thai PT govt.
why? Hun Sen is a close friend to
Thaksin and Yingluck is a clone
of her brother.
Last few weeks,Thaksin broadcasted
from Dubai;he told North,South,and
Northeast to vote for his sister
if they love him.
They voted for her because they
love Thaksin.
This time Yingluck,Hun Sen praised
her,but if Hun Sen will be lost in
2013,will she congratulate him?
If another party will win in Srok
Khmer,Cambodian people never want
to see Hun Sen making a coup d'État.
