PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA and Thailand reignited their diplomatic row on Monday over fugitive former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra, giving disputing accounts over consular visits to a Thai man accused of spying.
The Cambodian foreign ministry said a Thai embassy official was allowed on Monday to visit Siwarak Chothipong, 31, who was arrested on Thursday on charges of supplying details of Thaksin's flight schedule to his country's embassy.
But Bangkok, already furious over Phnom Penh's refusal to extradite Thaksin when he visited Cambodia last week, denied that its diplomats had been granted access to the man, an employee at the Cambodia Air Traffic Service.
'Today, we agreed to allow (a Thai diplomat) to visit the man at 2pm (0700 GMT, 3pm Singapore time) in the prison where he is being temporarily detained,' Cambodian foreign ministry spokesman Koy Kuong told AFP.
The spy allegations prompted Phnom Penh to expel the Thai embassy's first secretary on Thursday and Thailand reciprocated hours later.
Thaksin, who visited under his new role as economic adviser to Cambodia, left the country on Saturday, ending a contentious four-day visit that deepened a diplomatic storm between already bickering Bangkok and Phnom Penh.

The Cambodian regime should learn how to adapt to new challenge as the enemy prepare to jab with new political gambit.

It was a big slap on the face of Abhisit government by appointing Thaksin as economic adviser to Cambodia government. But, it show that the strategy using by Thaksin and Hun Sen helps Abhisit rather than putting pressure on him. His popularity rising above 50% in recent poll.
ReplyDeleteThe attempt of Khmer government to bring border dispute between the countries into international forum is far from reality now. So what does Hun Sen government gain from his gamesmanship?
