SINGAPORE, Nov 18 (The Straits Times) — Thailand and Cambodia yesterday made attempts to cool a bilateral row sparked by the appointment of former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as an adviser to Cambodian Premier Hun Sen.
Thailand’s Cabinet deferred a review of bilateral agreements and aid to the neighbouring country, while Cambodia granted Thai diplomats access to a detained Thai engineer who had been accused of spying.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said yesterday that his government would try to secure the engineer’s release.
