TOKYO, Nov 6 (TNA) - Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva reaffirmed on Friday that Thailand has downgraded its diplomatic ties with neighbouring Cambodia in an attempt to protect the Thai judicial system and the benefits of the Thai people, following the appointment of convicted ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra as economic adviser to the Cambodian government.The Thai premier made comments while he was attending the first Mekong-Japan Summit in the Japanese capital of Tokyo, where Prime Minister Hun Sen of Cambodia was also present.
Mr Abhisit said that the downgraded diplomatic ties is a retaliation by Thailand against the Cambodian government after it appointed Mr Thaksin as personal adviser to Mr Hun Sen and as economic advisor to the Cambodian government, while also insisting it will not extradite Mr Thaksin if he stays in Cambodia.
