The diplomat spat between Thailand and Cambodia is unlikely to spread to the border, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen predicted yesterday.
Relations between the countries have worsened dramatically as Thailand protests against Cambodia's invitation to former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to act as its adviser.
Each country has recalled its ambassadors, and on Thursday Thailand decided to scrap talks on the maritime boundary and joint development of the Gulf of Thailand.
Japan and other Asean members are worried by the potential of the dispute to grow further.
However, Hun Sen, in his first comment on the spat yesterday, said the situation on the border is stable.
