The Cambodian government has denied that they intercepted a telephone conversation between a Thai diplomatic official and the Thai engineer who was accused of spying through a wiretap.

The Cambodian government has responded to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's interview that the Cambodian authority may have intercepted a telephone conversation between a Thai diplomat officer and the Thai engineer who was accused of spying through a wiretap.

According the statement, the Cambodian government has denied the accusation, claiming that they do not condone such illegal methods, as they contradict their principals.

The statement says the accusation is just a figment of the Thai prime minister's imagination, and is aimed to gain political support and distract the public from the Thai government's weakness.

The Cambodian government has also accused Abhisit of creating an image of Cambodia as a rogue country, which is completely the opposite of the truth, as Cambodia is a country ruled by laws.

Phnom Penh has claimed that the Cambodian government received the record of the telephone conversation between the Thai diplomat and the Thai engineer from a private telephone company. According to the statement, the telephone conversation was recorded for billing purposes.

Sivarak Chutipong, a Thai engineer who works for a subsidiary of Samart Corporation, was charged and jailed by the Cambodian authorities for disclosing former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinnawatra's flight information. Sivarak was sentenced to seven years in prison and a 10 million Riel fine before he was pardoned by the Cambodian monarch.
