Cambodian PM not yet congratulate Thailand's new PM


PHNOM PENH, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has not sent an official letter to congratulate Yingluck Shinawatra (pictured) for being elected by the House of Representatives to be Thailand's 28th Prime Minister and the first female Prime Minister of Thailand, Koy Kuong, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said Saturday.

"So far, Prime Minister Hun Sen has not yet sent any letter to congratulate Mrs. Yingluck Shinawatra for being elected as Prime Minister of Thailand," he said.

The spokesman has rejected the online publication of the state- owned Agency Kampuchea Press (AKP) that reported that the premier sent a congratulatory message to Yingluck Shinawatra on August 5.

On August 5 in the evening, an official at the AKP, which is under the control of the Information Ministry, had sent out the unsigned premier's congratulatory message to the media by e-mail.

Yingluck Shinawatra, 44, is the sister of the Thailand's former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and Pheu Thai PM Candidate.

The Thaksin Shinawatra's Pheu Thai Party won a landslide victory--265 out of the 500 parliamentary seats--in the general election on July 3 and it has formed a coalition government with four small parties, making the coalition control about 60 percent of the House seats.
