“I've told Abhisit that no matter how we are at odds with each other, and for whatever matter, we cannot move away from one another.”
Prime Minister Hun Sen and his Thai counterpart met on the sidelines of a UN-Asean summit in Hanoi on Thursday, the third meeting in just over a month, in an effort to reconcile an ongoing border dispute.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said in September he had high hopes for the meetings, following the resignation of Thai fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra and the restoration of diplomatic ties.
That resignation has paved the way for talk of cooperation on both sides.
