Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thuagsuban on Friday said he believed Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen's statement that Cambodia did not issue passport for ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra.

"I met Cambodian Prime minister Hun Sen," Suthep said. "He said Thaksin didn't hold a Cambodian passport. I believe that and I didn't further investigate the claim."

Suthep was reacting to remarks by Pheu Thai MP Chalerm Yoobamrung who said Thaksin showed him the Cambodian passport among six or seven passports during their meeting last week in Dubai.


In regard to extradition proceedings to bring back Thaksin to serve his two-year jail term, he said "Just you wait and see".
