Exhibition fair scheduled to be held in Cambodia this month due to a
strong sentiment among Cambodians opposing Thai products following the
temple row between the two countries, a senior Thai commerce ministry
official said Saturday.
Northern Export Promotion Center director Boon Inthirat said longan
growers in three districts of Chiang Mai province in Thailand's north
had planned to transport more than 10 tons of longan for sale at two
shopping malls in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh on Saturday and
Sunday.
But the plan was canceled following advice by the Thai commercial office
in Phnom Penh relating to strong sentiment among Cambodians boycotting
Thai goods following a dispute between the two neighboring countries
over an overlapping area around the Preah Vihear temple.
Also, another fair called the Thailand Exhibition in which more than 200
Thai producers would participate in displaying goods in Phnom Penh later
this month has already been canceled. The fair was held in August in the
past years, said Mr. Boon. (TNA)
