Phnom Penh - Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen wrapped up a visit Saturday to Preah Vihear temple on the country's northern border with Thailand, in a visit laced with political and military symbolism.
Both Hun Sen, a five-star general, and his wife arrived in military uniform flanked by numerous high-ranking officials, and later took part in a ceremony at the 11th-century temple.
Preah Vihear has been the scene of repeated clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops over the past 18 months, with a number of deaths reported.
