Bangkok 24 August 2010
Thailand and Cambodia have decided to normalize diplomatic relations after nearly a year.
Tensions flared between Thailand and Cambodia when former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is wanted in Bangkok on corruption charges, took a post as an economic advisor to the Phnom Penh government.
But Mr. Thaksin has given up the post and the Thai foreign ministry says ambassadors will return to their posts in the two countries. The foreign ministry also thanked Cambodia for its cooperation in "boosting bilateral relations."
Mr. Thaksin was ousted in a coup in 2006 and has lived in exile since 2008. He has close links with Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen, and has business interests in Cambodia.
