Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen arrived in Hua Hin on Sunday morning to participate in the first Mekong River Commission summit. The event is being held at the Hyatt Regency hotel, from April 2 to 5.

The Cambodian premier and his entourage arrived at Bo Fai airport at 10.15am amid tight security. He was greeted by Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon before heading to the Dusit Thani Hua Hin Hotel.

Seven companies of police and soldiers have been deployed to oversee the security of those attending the summit and to prevent anti-government protesters from causing disruption.

During the Asean summit in Hua Hin last year, Hun Sen openly criticised the government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and said he would appoint fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra as the Cambodia government's economic adviser.
