A [Thai] government source said the move by Thaksin to resign his post was a result of talks at several levels between Thai and Cambodia on the stumbling blocks to improving relations if the former premier remained an adviser to Phnom Penh. Thaksin was forced to resign the position so relations between the two countries could move ahead, the source said.The resignation of Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic adviser to Cambodia and subsequent return of Thailand's ambassador to Phnom Penh have boosted hopes of an easing of diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
