Cambodia's government has named Thaksin Shinawatra, the exiled former prime minister of Thailand, as an economic adviser, Xinhua News Agency reported, citing a statement from the Cambodian government. Thaksin was also appointed to serve as a private adviser to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, the report said. The appointment was made on Oct. 27, Xinhua said. Thaksin, ousted in a 2006 coup, is wanted in Thailand after being sentenced to a two-year prison term last year for abuse of power. Thailand and Cambodia are neighbors that have clashed in the past year over border disputes. (Bloomberg)
