Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's "surprise" message to Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban was useful for the government merely to bluff the red-shirted movement, but it was not clear what price this country has to pay for it in the future.
Hun Sen told Suthep during an informal meeting on the sidelines of the first mekong River Commission summit in Hua Hin on Sunday that he would not invite fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to visit Cambodia as long as the red-shirt protest in Thailand was still underway.
In fact, Hun Sen's message has another part, which is that both countries should let bygones be bygones and proceed to improve bilateral relations, which have been sour since the Cambodian premier appointed Thaksin as economic adviser.
