Formal explanation of arrest sought; PM threatens cutback on financial aid
The Cabinet will today discuss ways to put the squeeze on Cambodia should the country not comply with international norms in its treatment of a Thai national arrested for allegedly spying for the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday threatened to take stronger action against Cambodia, including more cutbacks in financial assistance, should the country refuse to abide by the accepted standards.
Abhisit said the government would discuss possible action at today's Cabinet meeting when the entire Thai-Cambodian relations would come under review. He said he had been informed about a Thai national being arrested for "spying" in Cambodia.
