Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Sunday announced that Cambodia has decided to withdraw part of its troops from the border areas with Thailand.
Hun Sen made the announcement at a press conference held at the Phnom Penh International Airport where he arrived from the first Mekong-Japan Summit held from Nov. 6 to 7 in Tokyo, Japan.
Relations between Cambodia and Thailand were strained in the past week when Cambodia named former ousted Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic adviser.
Thailand recalled its ambassador on Thursday to protest against the Cambodian decision, and Cambodia also recalled its ambassador.
