Letter to the Editor of Bangkok Post

Mr. Pattnapong Chantranontwong

Bangkok Post

Dear Chantranontwong,
FOR PUBLICATION
The Royal Cambodian Government takes great exception to the article which appeared in the Bangkok Post on January 18, 2010 under the headline: In spat with 'Siem'. Hun Sen needs Hanoi in his corner." it is a very serious damaging article which I totally refute.
The allegation that Cambodia's Foreign Minister Hor Nam Hong, Cambodia's Ambassador to Thailand, Mrs You Ah and myself is of "Vietnamese lineage" is totally and utterly false and potentially defamatory.
The approach to foreign policy by Cambodia, initiated by Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen, already being implemented by Foreign Minister Hor Namhong; to forge constructive relationships with all nations, big or small, based on mutual trust and respect of the Cambodian’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and, the respect, without condition, of the verdict of the International Court of Justice concerning the issue of the Preah Vihear Temple in – 15 June 1962.
Publishing such false information as if it is fact does no credit to the Bangkok Post and not only damages the credibility of your newspaper, but also the reputation of Thailand on the international stage.
On behalf of the three persons named, I demand that your newspaper either substantiates the claims made in the offending article or publishes an immediate retraction and apology.
I appreciate if the content of this letter could be broadly circulated.
With kind regards
(Signed) Hor Nambora
Ambassador of Cambodia to the Court of St James’s
