BANGKOK, Aug 2 (TNA) - The Royal Thai Army medical department in cooperation with Cambodia's Ministry of Defense have launched a joint two-year development project to both prevent and contain malaria along their mutual border, deputy Thai Army spokeswoman Col. Sirichan Ngathong said Thursday.
The cooperation to combat the mosquito-borne disease officially begins October 1, 2007 extending through September 30, 2009.
Under the cooperative framework, the two countries will promote skill development of their medical staff and instruct the public to protect themselves from the disease.
Cambodia and Thailand will also develop joint diagnosis, treatment, and research on drug resistance.
They have designated at-risk zones in the two countries to focus on surveillance and disease control in special areas in Thailand's Surin, Trat, and Nonthaburi provinces and in Pailin, Koh Kong, and Udonmeechai on the Cambodian side.
Besides the establishment of a working committee, the two countries will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as a framework for the project. The cooperation to fight malaria will pave the way for the two parties' cooperation in eradicating other diseases along the border in the future.

Only stupid AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave officials will cooperate with the Thaicong!
The concept of cooperation with the outsiders can be very dangerous unless stupid Cambodian officials know what the hell is going on!
Any cooperation with the Thaicong along Cambodian-Thaicong borders will give the Thaicong a better understanding of Cambodian geography because in a time of war understand the geography can really help! So far most of the lands along the Cambodia-Thiacong borders are very inaccessible due to land mines!
