PHNOM PENH, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday hailed the Thai government led by Yingluck Shinawatra for her efforts to restore good relations with Cambodia.
Speaking during a meeting with visiting Thai foreign minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul and energy minister Pichai Naripthaphan at the Phnom Penh’s Peace Palace, Hun Sen said the bilateral relations between Cambodia and Thailand have “turned good” since the Pheu Thai Party led by Yingluck Shinawatra won the general election in July.
He added that it was the open of the new chapter of Cambodian and Thai relations and cooperation.
The premier said that since July, the bilateral trade and tourism have seen significant increase.
Meanwhile, Surapong pledged to continue boosting the bilateral ties on trade, investment, tourism, and cultures for the mutual interests of the two countries’ peoples.
Cambodia and Thailand have had sporadic border conflict over territorial dispute near Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple since the UNESCO listed the temple as a World Heritage Site on July 7, 2008 and witnessed fierce border fighting in February and April this year during the previous Thai's administration led by the Democrat Party.
