Former prime minister and a key member of the main opposition Puea Thai Party Chavalit Yongchaiyuth on Wednesday morning left for Phanom Penh to meet Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen.

“Mr Hun Sen is my old friend and I am visiting him on his invitation”, Gen Chavalit said before leaving for the neighboring country.

The ex-premier said he would not raise the issue of the disputed area near the Preah Vihear ancient temple for discussion during his today’s visit.

“But if Mr Hun Sen wants to discuss it, I am ready for talks to help the government settle the dispute”, Gen Chavalit said.

He noted that the problem between Thailand and Cambodia could be stemmed from a small misunderstanding and the dispute would not lead to a change in ties between the two countries.

Regarding the incident that several generals of the armed forces who were classmates at the pre-cadet’s class 10 of deposed former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra had recently joined Puea Thai Party, Gen Chavalit said many more senior persons who had worked for the country but were not well-known would join the opposition camp as they wanted to help the kingdom.

He denied he joined the Puea Thai Party because he wants to become a prime minister. He just wants to perform duty as a good member of the political party.
