Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Tuesday he was not bothered by Hun Sen's outbursts, saying the Cambodian prime minister simply wanted to give vent to his frustrations.
"I don't want to retaliate but if anything affected the country, the Foreign Ministry would take care of it. The most important thing is that we have to prevent invasion of territory under Thai sovereignty," Abhisit told reporters.
Hun Sen launched a verbal attack against Abhisit on Monday during his border tour in response to the Thai stance over the disputed area adjacent to the Hindu Preah Vihear Temple.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said Hun Sen was angry as he was not allowed by Thai authorities to visit Ta Moan Thom temple on his last leg of the border tour.
