The Thai government has no plan to support a coup in Cambodia as the country's leader, Hun Sen, claims, Deputy Prime Minister for security affairs Suthep Thaugsuban said on Friday.
Mr Suthep was responding to a report that the Cambodian prime minister had forwarded a copy of a confidential Thai Foreign Ministry document he said outlines a plan to topple his government to Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni.
“The Thai government has no thought of interfere with the internal affairs of our neighbouring country. Hun Sen might have received incorrect information,” Mr Suthep said.
He insisted Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva also has no ill-intentions towards the Cambodian government.
Mr Suthep said Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had expressed concern about the ongoing diplomatic row between Thailand and Cambodia and hoped the dispute could be settled as soon as possible.
The deputy premier has just returned from a trip to Indonesia to discuss ways to stabilise the prices of rubber and palm oil.
