Hun Sen: The acting Thai Prime Minister Prayut has no real power and cannot negotiate!

Prayut: Hun Sen has no negotiating value; Hun Sen is only the Speaker of the Cambodian Parliament, not representing the royal family or the government. Even if he has real power, it would be unjustified.

Hun Sen: I represent the highest power in Cambodia;

Prayut: No! The King of Cambodia is the highest power!

Currently, the negotiations between Thailand and Cambodia have been delayed, and the previous and current leaders of both sides have been exchanging harsh words, making the relationship between Cambodia and Thailand even more tense. Prayut is the acting Thai Prime Minister, and his biggest task after taking office has been to clash with Hun Sen. As for other matters, Prayut doesn't care, just clashing with Hun Sen. Hun Sen can't direct his criticism at Prayut and Thaksin now, because one is a former prime minister and the other is a suspended prime minister, so there's nothing more to say. Prayut was previously the deputy prime minister and assistant of Thaksin.

Now, Prayut doesn't plan to stay in office for long, so he is blasting Hun Sen continuously, saying anything he wants, because he doesn't intend to remain as the acting Thai Prime Minister for long, just to make Hun Sen pay a certain price. In fact, the recording incident was initiated by Hun Sen's side, and Prayut is just venting anger on behalf of Thaksin.

Now, Prayut's statements seem to be causing some issues within Cambodia. Everyone knows that Hun Sen currently controls the power in Cambodia, but he has already stepped down from the position of Prime Minister of Cambodia, with his son taking over. Therefore, Hun Sen's position is quite awkward externally, as he is no longer the official top leader of Cambodia, but still effectively remains in power without officially retiring.

However, Prayut doesn't care about this, stating that Hun Sen does not represent the official leaders of Cambodia and cannot conduct negotiations. Therefore, the clashes between Prayut and Hun Sen will continue.
