The prime minister of Cambodia has announced that he will not discuss the border dispute issue with the Thai prime minister during the Asia-Europe Meeting in Brussels, Belgium.
In his speech given at a university graduation ceremony, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is not an object that can be easily transferred or a factor used to determine politics or diplomatic relationships.
Hun Sen also demanded the withdrawal of the Thai military from Cambodian territory.
The Cambodian premier added that even though Thaksin has resigned from his position as an adviser to the Cambodian government, they remain close friends to each other.
Hun Sen also claimed that the re-establishment of the diplomatic ties between Bangkok and Phnom Penh was only an illusion that the cross border relationship is improving.
He said that in reality, the Thai military is still occupying Cambodian land, and that the problem was not caused by Thaksin.
The Cambodia prime minister went on to say that he has been asking the international community to mediate a bilateral talk with the Thai government on the border dispute.
However, Hun Sen claimed that the talk will resume only once the Thai government has ratified the agreements drawn during the past negotiations, as well as withdrawing troops from Cambodian soil.
Hun Sen also claimed that during the Asia-Europe Meeting in Brussels, Belgium in October, he will only discuss trade, investment, and economic issues with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, not the border dispute.
The Cambodian prime minister has asked the Thai government to ratify the agreements in order to pave the way to the talk to solve the border problem between the two countries.
