Hun Sen shares photos of Paetongtarn visiting former PM's rooms in Phnom Penh
PHNOM PENH: Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen continues his active social media engagement by sharing photos of Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra visiting rooms in his Phnom Penh residence.
According to Cambodia's Fresh News agency, Hun Sen revealed on his Facebook page that he and the Cambodian government had provided shelter to both former Thai Prime Ministers, Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra, during their political challenges in Thailand.
During Paetongtarn's official visit to Cambodia in April, she met with Hun Sen's family and dined at his home.

She also took photographs and videos to document the visit.

However, Hun Sen noted that the long-standing friendship between the two families, which has lasted over 30 years, has recently been strained.
This tension followed the controversial leak of a private conversation between Hun Sen and Paetongtarn, reportedly by a Cambodian official, in retaliation for criticism suggesting that Hun Sen and Prime Minister Hun Manet lacked professionalism. - The Nation/ANN

Cambodia's Hun Sen warns Thailand on oil export suspension
PHNOM PENH: Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen has strongly responded to a recent proposal by Thailand's opposition party calling for the Thai government to halt oil exports to Cambodia. In a Facebook post on Friday (June 20), Hun Sen rejected the idea, firmly stating that Cambodia would not collapse if it ceased receiving oil from Thailand. He also warned that such a move could backfire on Thailand, particularly affecting Thai companies, such as PTT, which operates gas stations in Cambodia. "This is a dangerous game that may end up backfiring," Hun Sen wrote. "Today, the Thai opposition party has suggested that the Thai government stop selling oil to Cambodia, hoping to pressure us into submission. "We want to make it clear that Cambodia will not fall apart just because we stop buying oil from Thailand. In fact, PTT, a Thai company operating in Cambodia, may feel the impact first." Hun Sen further cautioned that if Thailand implemented this measure, it could force PTT to rely on oil imports from other countries to maintain its operations in Cambodia. He also suggested that the Cambodian government consider diversifying its oil sources and reducing dependence on Thailand for other goods. "I advise the government to seriously consider reducing imports from Thailand. "If the border issues remain unresolved, Cambodia should suspend imports of all canned products from Thailand, including alcoholic drinks, energy drinks, canned fish, and meat, and turn to domestic products or goods from other countries," he added. Hun Sen also highlighted that energy was not the only area of contention. He recalled how Thailand had previously used internet access, electricity, and Cambodian labour as political tools. He remarked that Thailand had once used Cambodian workers as leverage, but now seemed to be more conciliatory, recognising the severe impact it would face if Cambodian workers were sent back. "If you truly dare, try sending all Cambodian workers back and see how Thailand's economy fares," he challenged. Finally, Hun Sen called on the Cambodian people to look beyond the present and plan long-term, especially with regard to economic influence being used as a political tool. He urged the country to prepare for future challenges and the potential misuse of economic power in regional geopolitics. "Let us plan for the future, beyond 2030, and be ready for any situation where economic influence is used as a political weapon," Hun Sen concluded. - The Nation/ANN

Thai-Cambodian border remains calm, confirms 2nd Army Region chief
BANGKOK: The chief of the 2nd Army Region, Lt Gen Boonsin Padklang, confirmed on Saturday (June 21) that the Thai-Cambodian border remains peaceful, with no incidents of violence. He also stated that political matters have not impacted military operations, with each side continuing to perform their respective duties. Boonsin made these remarks after presiding over a ceremony at Wat Sawang Suwannaram in Nakhon Phanom province, where a 29-inch bronze Buddha statue, valued at over 190,000 baht, was offered. The ceremony included a procession around the ordination hall followed by a religious ritual to place the statue inside the sacred Phra That Saeng Nakhon, a religious monument in Mueang Nakhon Phanom district. Chao Khun Phet Phraratchasiriwat, the abbot of the temple, led the religious ceremony, and the public gathered to offer flowers in support. - Photo: The Nation/ANN Regarding the situation on the border, Boonsin confirmed that the area remains calm with no significant military movements. He stated that ongoing communication and coordination between the Thai and Cambodian armed forces continue, with Cambodia respecting its border and no incursions into Thai territory. The heightened tensions, he explained, are more related to domestic political issues in Thailand rather than any military conflict. Boonsin emphasised that the Thai military remains focused on safeguarding the country's sovereignty and security. He reassured the public that political movements within the country have not affected the military's responsibilities in border security. He also noted that concerns over potential clashes are primarily dependent on the policies of the Cambodian government. Regarding a recent incident involving a group of Cambodians singing at Ta Krabei Temple in Surin, Boonsin stated that the Thai military has coordinated with Cambodian authorities to prevent similar incidents in the future. He indicated that the situation was more politically motivated than related to military conflict. The military chief assured the public that the Thai army remains committed to defending the nation's sovereignty and urged people to rely on credible news sources for information. "The military confirms that it will perform its duties with the utmost dedication to the nation, religion, monarchy, and the people. "As for the misunderstanding regarding the prime minister and the military leadership, it has been clarified and apologised for, with no impact on the military's work," Boonsin concluded. - The Nation/ANN

Cambodian DPM urges investors to maximise benefits from Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, bilateral free trade agreements
PHNOM PENH: (Bernama-Xinhua) Cambodian Permanent Deputy Prime Minister and Cabinet Minister Vongsey Vissoth (pic) on Friday (June 20) urged investors to reap maximum benefits from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement and bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs), Xinhua reported. Cambodia is a member of the RCEP agreement, which engages with 15 Asia-Pacific countries, and the kingdom also has bilateral FTAs with China, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Under these free trade pacts, Cambodian products have been exported to those countries with preferential tariffs. "I would like to urge investors to maximise the opportunities and benefits from the RCEP agreement and Cambodia's bilateral FTAs with China, South Korea, and the UAE," Vissoth said in a speech to hundreds of investors and business executives at a Cambodia-international investment promotion platform in Phnom Penh. He said these free trade pacts have played a crucial role in "diversifying markets for garment products to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), East Asia, and other regions besides the United States and Europe." Entering into force in 2022, RCEP comprises 10 Asean member states of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, and their five trading partners, namely China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Zheng Xianjiang, co-president of the Cambodia Confederation of Investors Association, said Cambodia is a "golden hub" for investment as the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway, the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone, and the international deep-sea port of Sihanoukville have provided convenience for trade exchanges between Cambodia and the rest of the world. Moreover, under the RCEP and the FTAs, trade between Cambodia and these countries has been conducted with no barriers, he said at the event. Zheng added that these trade pacts have created favourable trade and investment opportunities for investors in Cambodia. Cambodian Ministry of Commerce's Secretary of State and spokesperson Penn Sovicheat said the RCEP agreement and bilateral FTAs will help Cambodia realise its ambitious goals of becoming an upper-middle income country by 2030 and a high-income nation by 2050. "These free trade pacts have not only given a big boost to Cambodia's sustainable trade growth in the long run, but also become a magnet to attract more foreign direct investments to the kingdom," he told Xinhua. Kin Phea, director general of the International Relations Institute of Cambodia, a think tank under the Royal Academy of Cambodia, said the RCEP has emerged as a key advocate for free trade and multilateralism in the wake of escalating protectionist policies, particularly from the United States. "The RCEP has become a stabilising force, fostering economic integration across the Asia-Pacific," he told Xinhua. At the forum, 21 memoranda of understanding were signed between representatives of Cambodian and foreign enterprises, covering a wide range of business areas. - Bernama-Xinhua
