Khmer PM orders release of Thai men : Surin governor


Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has reportedly ordered releasing of Thai men arrested for seeking wild products in the woods and straying into the disputed areas, Surin Governor Raphee Pongbuppakit said Tuesday.

The release is believed to be resulted from improving relations between Thailand and Cambodia after ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra "resigned" as economic adviser of Hun Sen and Khmer government, the governor said.

"I have been informed that PM Hun Sen has ordered Cambodia's Siem Reap governor to free the three Thais," he said.

Both countries, locally and nationally, are looking forward to seeing improving bilateral relations after the Thaksin's resignation from the position.

The appointment of Thaksin last year has worsened the relations, resulting in both countries recalling their ambassadors and first secretaries.
