Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva must remove Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya if he wishes to rapidly end the escalating diplomatic dispute with Cambodia, spokesman fof the opposition Puea Thai Party Prompong Nopparit said on Friday.

“The minister is the root cause of problem as he has a personal conflict with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen,” Mr Prompong said. This personal conflict had now developed into a serious dispute between Thailand and Cambodia.

Asked about the several Puea Thai MPs who skipped today's parliamentary meeting and went to meet Thaksin Shinawatra in Cambodia, the spokesman said it they were not acting in response to any party resolution.

“It is a personal matter as they love and respect the former prime minister,” he said.
