PHNOM PENH - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Tuesday there is no Thai government-in-exile in Cambodia, and he will not let one be established.
A rumour by Thaksin Shinawatra's Canadian lawyer Robert Amsterdam said a government-in-exile might be set up after last week's coup. No Thai including Thaksin has commented on such a plan.
"I would like to stress that Cambodia is not a place for any country or group to set up a government-in-exile," Hun Sen said.
"Cambodia's constitution does not allow any foreigners to use its territory as a base for armed forces to attack a government of another state," he added.
The premier made no secret of his good and deep relations with both Thaksin and his younger sister, recently deposed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
He sought their understanding of his stance that Cambodia cannot "interfere into Thai internal politics."
