Hun Sen says Cambodia not concerned by absence of Thai ambassador

PHNOM PENH, Jan. 12, 2010 (Kyodo News International) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Tuesday his government is not affected by whether Thailand sends back its ambassador to Cambodia.
In a speech to graduate students in Phnom Penh, Hun Sen also said he wants Thailand to stop issuing conditions for returning its ambassador to Cambodia.
''Stop talking about sending back your ambassador,'' he said. ''The presence of a charge d'affaires is enough.''
Hun Sen was apparently referring to Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya's remarks that Bangkok would consider sending back its ambassador once Cambodia rescinds the appointment of fugitive former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra as economic adviser.
