Cambodian PM accuses Thailand of plotting invasion during tour of disputed Preah Vihear
PREAH VIHEAR - CAMBODIAN Premier Hun Sen visited a disputed border area with Thailand yesterday, angering the neighbouring nation amid an ongoing diplomatic spat.
Mr Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany briefly toured the ancient Preah Vihear temple at the centre of the land dispute and met members of the Thai military guarding the area.
He asked the Thais 'to avoid fighting because we are neighbours', but his presence in the area attracted more than 100 protesters on the Thai side of the border.
