PREAH VIHEAR, Cambodia — Cambodian Premier Hun Sen visited a disputed border area with Thailand Saturday, angering the neighbouring nation amid an ongoing diplomatic spat.
Hun Sen, accompanied by his wife, Bun Rany, both dressed in camouflage clothes, briefly toured the ancient Preah Vihear temple at the centre of the land dispute and met members of the Thai military who guard the area.
He asked the Thais "to avoid fighting because we are neighbours, we cannot be enemies forever," but his presence in the area attracted more than 100 Thai protesters on the Thai side of the border.
