Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra will begin a visit to Cambodia on Sept 16 to attend the Asian Economic Forum Conference, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Monday, Xinhua news agency reported on its website.
Hun Sen said Thaksin's visit was scheduled before the official visit of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who will make an official one-day visit to Phnom Penh on Thursday.
The Cambodian prime minister said this during a graduation ceremony of 4,100 students at the National University of Management, the Xinhua report said.
Hun Sen said Thaksin would stay from Sept 16 until 24 and attend the Asian Economic Future Conference, organised by the Royal Academy of Cambodia, not to talk with Cambodia on oil and gas issues.
The Cambodian prime minister stressed that the responsibility for negotiating oil and gas deals and other issues with Cambodia rests with the Thai government, not Thaksin.
So far no agreement had been reached on oil and gas deal talks between Cambodia and Thailand, he said.
During the visit, Thaksin would give a lecture on Asian Economics on Sept 17 at the Peace Palace, the Xhunhua report said.
At the Peace Palace, he would officially greet Thaksin and they would talk on economic development, Hun Sen said.
Hun Sen said he would play golf with Thaksin on Sept 18.
On Sept 24, Cambodian and Thai parliamentarians and high-ranking officials would play football at Phnom Penh's Olympic Stadium, the prime minister added.
A spokesman for the Phnom Penh Post newspaper confirmed that Thaksin is scheduled to arrive in the Cambodian capital on Friday.

Ex-Thai PM Thaksin to Visit Cambodia on Sept.16
Xinhua- The former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will make his visit to Cambodia on Sept. 16 to join the Asian Economic Future Conference, not to negotiate with Cambodia on oil and gas issues, confirmed Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday.
"Thaksin's visit plan to Cambodia was scheduled before the official visit plan of the newly elected Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who will visit Cambodia on Sept. 15," he said during a graduation ceremony of 4,100 students at the National University of Management.
"But the visit of Thaksin on Sept. 16 and stay until Sept. 24 is to join Asian Economic Future Conference, organized by the Royal Academy of Cambodia, not to talk with Cambodia on oil and gas issues," he said.
"Thaksin has no duty to negotiate on oil and gas deal and other issues with Cambodia at all as it is the duty of Thai government, not Thaksin," said the premier.
Cambodia and Thailand entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding the area of their overlapping maritime claims to the continental shelf in June 2001, setting out an agreed area to be delimited and an agreed joint development area (JDA), but the talks was in limbo during the former Thai government under Abhisit Vejjajiva's administration.
Hun Sen said that so far no any agreement reached on oil and gas deal talks between Cambodia and Thailand.
The premier said that during the visit, Thaksin would give a lecture on Asian Economics on Sept. 17 at the Peace Palace. "After that, I will officially greet him at the Peace Palace and we talk on economic development," he said.
He added that he would play golf with Thaksin on Sept. 18 and on Sept. 24, Cambodian and Thai parliamentarians and high-ranking officials would play football together at Phnom Penh's Olympic Stadium.
