Cambodia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry official on Wednesday strongly rejected Thai Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaug-suban’s claims that Cambodia provides fugitive former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Sinawatra a base to fight and oppose the current Thai government.

MFA spokesman Koy Kuong said that the claim is completely false. “It is really overstated as Thaksin comes to Cambodia related to economic matters, not other things,” Koy Kuong added.

Suthep said that Thaksin used Cambodia as political basin to fight back and oppose to Thai government led by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, according to Thai-language news.

Suthep’s claims came after Thaksin left Cambodia at 10 am on Tuesday this week. The visit was the second to Camb- odia after he was appointed Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen’s advisor and the government’s advisor on economic matters.
