(BangkokPost.com) - The efforts to work out the Thai-Cambodian border dispute have progressed considerably, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Sompong Amornvivat said on Sunday morning.
During the Government of the People programme on the state-run National Broadcasting Services of Thailand (NBT) channel, Mr Sompong said he planned to ask the parliament to consider the framework of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Border Committee (JBC) this Tuesday.
Mr Sompong said Prime Minister and Defence Minister Somchai Wongsawat had informal talks with Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen at the 7th Asia-Europe Meeting (Asem). He said both sides would like to cooperate and work out the border row peaceful through bilateral talks to spur investment of the two countries.
No forces will be used to solve the problem, the foreign minister added.
Meanwhile, he said the Thai premier had the opportunity to exchange views and ideas with foreign delegates at the Asem and they discussed ways to prepare for and deal with the global economic crisis.
As for the Asian Summit, which will be in Thailand in December, Mr Sompong said the meeting could be moved from Bangkok to the northern province of Chiang Mai, but there will be further discussions on this issue.

Mr. SomPong ( mr. hooker ? ).
Mr Sompong can't be trusted ! He is like a hooker, nothing but cheap bitch.
You are rigth,He wants to steal Cambodia land,So you have to think Cambodian people not in the past,if you want like in the past we will welcome.
This border issue is all politic from both side of the CPP and thai side.
Its all for their political gains, not truely for the people or the peace of both neighbor.
The one who will lose most is the cambodia and its people. Hopefully all khmer around the world will raise their voice and action against this non-sense.
