Hun Sen denies Thaksin makes secret visits to Cambodia

PHNOM PENH, Mar. 15, 2010 (Kyodo News International) -- Prime Minister Hun Sen said Monday Cambodia has never allowed any unannounced visit to the country by fugitive former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Speaking to graduate students, Hun Sen said there is nothing to hide when Thaksin visits Cambodia and that all such will be televised as was done on Thaksin's previous visits.
Thaksin, who is made an adviser to the Cambodian government and Hun Sen on economic affairs, has made three visits to Cambodia since his appointment last year.
Hun Sen made the statement Monday in response to reports in Thai media that Thaksin had traveled to Cambodia's northern province Siem Reap ahead of the mass red-shirt protests in Bangkok against Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
