SINGAPORE on Friday expressed concern about the deteriorating relationship between Thailand and Cambodia over Phnom Penh's naming of fugitive former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra as an adviser.
In response to media queries on Singapore's views on recent developments in Thai-Cambodia relations, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman said: 'It is not good for Asean.
'We hope that both our friends will keep the larger interest of Asean in mind and find a way to resolve their differences quickly in a spirit of good neighbourliness.'
