SRP's Press Release
Upon his arrival in Thailand on October 23 to attend the ongoing ASEAN summit meeting, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen confirmed that he is willing to welcome former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to stay in Cambodia. He noted, “If [Cambodian opposition leader] Sam Rainsy (pictured) could come to Thailand as he did recently to make statements against the Cambodian government, why my good friend Thaksin could not [reciprocally] come to Cambodia?”
Hun Sen cannot decently use Sam Rainsy’s latest visit to Thailand as a “balancing” pretext for his offer to fugitive Thaksin Shinawatra to come and stay in Cambodia.
Last month, Sam Rainsy was invited by the South East Asia Press Alliance (SEAPA), a Bangkok-based international free expression advocacy group, to speak on September 22 at the Foreign Correspondent Club of Thailand (FCCT) about the human rights situation in Cambodia. The intention of the event organizers was to allow international observers to collect different points of view ahead of the launching of the ASEAN Inter-governmental Commission on Human Rights in Hua Hin (Thailand) on October 23. Yesterday’s launching of the AICHR was actually followed by the ongoing ASEAN summit meeting.
Sam Rainsy's intervention at the FCCT had nothing to do with border issues or any other disputes between Cambodia and Thailand, and the Thai government was not involved in any way in the September 22 press conference attended by Sam Rainsy.
Similarly, on May 6 this year, Sam Rainsy was the main guest of a Gala dinner organized in Singapore (Conrad Hotel) by the Foreign Correspondents’ Association in Singapore. During a question-and-answer session with foreign and local journalists and observers, he elaborated on issues very similar to the ones he addressed in Bangkok on September 22. The Singapore government was not involved in any way in the event.
To properly defend Cambodia’s interest, the Sam Rainsy Party urges all Cambodians from all political parties to remain absolutely neutral in any internal conflict among neighboring peoples. Any spillover from the current internal tension/unrest in Thailand could be very detrimental to Cambodia.

Did Mr RS know the Thai Killed his Father brother and sister or his people what ever you do just don't that
Mr. Hun Sen's analogy is in correct because, first Thaksin is a fugitive and Rainsy is not. Secondly, Thaksin is invited by the head of government (Hun Sen) and Mr. Rainsy was not (he was invited by private sectors).
Don't attack your own country from foreign soil ES Thai because they the one killed you brother and sister It doesn't meter private or government they all Thai and the Thai press all so work to support the Thai government they invade your country not just from the Thai government but from the King from the people and also from the press that what you(SR)said How a liberal democracy works that stupid Mr SR just don't attack your own country from foreign soil you help nothing from the start and don't stirring Mr SR
