(BangkokPost.com) - The bilateral meeting between Thai Foreign Minister Tej Bunnag and his Cambodian counterpart Nor Namhong commenced on Tuesday morning in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan province. The meeting aims to resolve the ongoing border dispute over Preah Vihear temple.
Director of the Department of Information and Foreign Ministry spokesman Tharit Charungvat said the meeting will continue discussion from the previous Joint Border Committee (JBC) meeting in Cambodia’s Siem Reap on July 28 regarding possible reduction of troops from both sides at the disputed border area. He said the two neighbouring countries hope the meeting can prevent confrontation and restore normalcy.
According to Mr Tharit, the bilateral ties between Thailand and Cambodia are moving in a positive direction, but the problem takes time and patience from both sides.
At the meeting, it is expected that the Cambodian side may claim that Ta Moan Touch and Ta Moan Thom temples are also in its territory.
