Reference News website reported on June 19th according to the Singapore United Daily News website report on June 19th, Thai Prime Minister Peetaungtan expressed apologies on the 19th for the political turmoil caused by the leakage of the content of her phone call with former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The leakage of the content of Peetaungtan's phone call with Hun Sen has triggered a political storm in Thailand. In this phone call, Peetaungtan referred to Hun Sen as "uncle". She said she was facing domestic pressure and urged Hun Sen not to listen to the opinions of "the other side" in Thailand, which includes a Thai general responsible for supervising border troops. Critics said that she was too obsequious towards Hun Sen, making Thailand appear weak.
Reportedly, Peetaungtan made a public apology at a press conference on the 19th. Several senior military officials stood beside her.
Peetaungtan said that her intention was to help stabilize the situation and she never expected the phone call to be leaked. She will no longer have any private conversations with Hun Sen. "It is now clear that he (Hun Sen) only cares about his reputation at home, without considering the impact on relations with other countries," she said.
She also reiterated that she had no disagreements with the Thai military.
Reportedly, the Thai government summoned the Cambodian ambassador on the 19th and submitted a protest letter, expressing deep disappointment over the leakage of the high-level communication between Thailand and Cambodia.
A spokesperson for the Thai Foreign Ministry told the media on the 19th that the Thai side had summoned the Cambodian ambassador on the same morning regarding this incident and submitted a protest letter.
The spokesperson pointed out: "This action taken by Cambodia is completely unacceptable. It violates diplomatic etiquette, seriously undermines trust, and damages relations between neighboring countries."
