ASEAN Summit Begins with Hopes for Peace Between Thailand, Cambodia
Embattled Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva put his domestic troubles aside as he welcomed the heads of Southeast Asian nations to the 14th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits at the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel in Pattaya. He set an auspicious tone by presenting Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen with stolen Khmer artifacts that Thai police recovered. Later, on the sidelines, the two leaders, which are embroiled in a border row surrounding the Preah Vihear Temple, agreed to mend fences.
