Chavalit slams PM on Cambodia row

Puea Thai Party chairman Chavalit Yongchaiyudh has slammed Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for saying there could be someone trying to "instigate a situation" after Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed his unhappiness with Mr Abhisit and Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya.

Mr Abhisit should not say anything like this which could affect relations between the two countries without information to back it up, he said.

Gen Chavalkit refused to comment on Mr Hun Sen's aggressive stance.

He believed the government was trying to mend the situation, but it would take time to heal the conflict between the two governments.
