Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has driven a wedge further into the rocky diplomatic relations between his country and Thailand by appointing deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra his economic adviser. By extending his personal favour to the fugitive leader, Premier Hun Sen has given another slap in the face of Thai government leaders..jpg)
The chances are now slim that bilateral ties between the two countries will improve in the near future. This certainly cannot happen when a national leader's acts towards a neighbouring country are dictated by personal friendship and vested interests, not by the benefits of the peoples who share their border.

On a more critical aspect, the signal he has sent out to the Abhisit Vejjajiva government is more than clear - his regime gives no recognition to the Bangkok leader and it has no respect for Thai law.
