The Cambodian government had sent a message congratulating Pheu Thai on winning the election and being in a position to form the new government, Yingluck Shinawatra said on Tuesday.

Ms Yingluck said in the message Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen did not mention anything about the Preah Vihear temple.

Pheu Thai's policy is to promote international relations, protect national interests and win acceptance from the international community, she said.


On whether the government to be led by her would help Thai Patriots Network coordinator Veera Somkwamkid and his secretary Ratree Pipattanapaiboon, who are being jailed in a prison in Phnom Penh for spying and border intrusion, Ms Yingluck said the matter would be taken for consideration after the government had been formed.

Asked whether the new foreign minister would have to be well-versed in Cambodia issues, she said the party would pick a person who is capable of doing the job and acceptable to the international community.
