'I came to visit my godbrother at home in Bangkok. Despite his illness, H.E. Thaksin received us as brothers with the participation of Ung-Ing, his youngest daughter and the President of Pheu Thai Party. To strengthen our friendship, I invited Ung-Ing to visit Cambodia on Mar. 14-15, 2024,' wrote the former Prime Minister of Cambodia on his social media networks on Feb. 21. Samdech Techo Hun Sen emphasised that during the meeting, the two former prime ministers did not talk about politics, but recalled the memories of the 32 years of the ir friendship since 1992. 'Thank you, brother and niece, for welcoming me today,' he said. Samdech Techo Hun Sen and H.E. Thaksin Shinawatra have become godbrothers since 1992, before H.E.
