FOREIGN Minister Hor Namhong is set to meet today with his Thai counterpart, Kasit Piromya, as tensions over the arrest of a Thai parliamentarian in Cambodia last month continue to loom over the two countries' relations.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Koy Kuong said the two were set to meet on the sidelines of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Retreat in Lombok, Indonesia. Kasit and Hor Namhong last met in December following the arrest of Panich Vikitsreth, a lawmaker from Thailand's ruling Democrat Party.
Panish and six other Thais were arrested in Banteay Meanchey province during an expedition to "investigate" the border demarcation project and were later charged with illegal entry and unlawfully entering a military base.
