TOKYO, Nov 7 (TNA) -- Reiterating that the Thai government’s decision to downgrade diplomatic relations with its neighbour Cambodia is not considered severe, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said here Saturday that convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra should first take Thailand’s interests into consideration rather than that of another country.Mr Abhisit, who attended the two-day Japan-Mekong summit in Tokyo which ended earlier Saturday, said the problem was not caused by Thailand, and that what the Cambodian government did affected the Thai judicial system directly.
Mr Thaksin is also a Thai and he should have realised the impact, but he instead charged that the Thai government had caused the problem, said Mr Abhisit.
“In fact, Mr Thaksin should review his role of what he’s doing and think of the country’s interests as his priority and also to think on good relations with the country’s neighbours as well,” said Mr Abhisit.
