Cambodia, Thai Officials Set up Hotline on Migrant Issue
Cambodia and Thailand on Tuesday sought to downplay reports of a
crackdown on illegal Cambodian workers by Bangkok’s new military junta
as the two governments agreed to establish a hotline to communicate on
labor issues afflicting the two neighboring countries.
Eat Sophea, Cambodia’s ambassador to Thailand, was summoned to the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the issue as the number of illegal Cambodian workers returning across the border since June 1 hit 200,000 on Tuesday, according to Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Kuy Koung.
The Cambodian workers—who prop up Thailand’s industries, but are mostly living in the country without proper documentation—have fled or have been forcibly repatriated by the Thai junta, which threatened illegal workers with arrest and deportation last week after taking power in a May 22 coup.
Kuy Koung said that the Thai junta had agreed to “establish a hotline for communication” on labor issues, and assured Cambodia that it “doesn’t have plans to deport all Cambodian laborers.”. Read More
