Cambodia, Thailand expel senior diplomats
Cambodia expelled a Thai diplomat and Thailand reciprocated on Thursday in a row over Phnom Penh's naming of fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra as an adviser, a Thai government spokesman said.
"We decided to expel the Cambodian first secretary after Cambodia expelled our first secretary from the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh," Panitan Wattanayagorn, a spokesman for Thailand's government, told AFP.
He said that Thailand had given the Cambodian diplomat 48 hours to leave the country.
