The former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been appointed an economic advisor to the Cambodian government.
Thaksin will also be a private advisor to Prime Minister Hun Sen. The position was apparently made in accordance with the country’s constitution after a request from Hun Sen.
China's Xinhua has reported that King Norodom Sihamoni formally appointed Thaksin to the posts on Oct 27th.
Thaksin, who is believed to be in Cambodia, has been living as an exile in foreign countries since he was toppled from power in 2006.
Cambodia has said it will not extradite Thaksin to Thailand if he decides to live in the country
