BANGKOK, Oct 8 (TNA) - Thailand's Minister of Foreign Affairs Kasit Piromya on Thursday said Thailand will propose establishing a mechanism to settle conflicts among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) during the group’s upcoming summit scheduled for later this month in the Thai seaside resorts of Cha-am and Hua Hin.
Mr Kasit made his remarks during a speech in the Thai capital Thursday on the problem of land sovereignty along the Thai-Cambodian border.
The Thai foreign minister expressed hope that the mechanism will help sort out border disputes between Thailand and Cambodia.
Thailand will host the 15th ASEAN Summit and related summits in Phetchaburi's Cha-am district and Prachuab Khiri Khan's Hua Hin district October 23 to 25. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has confirmed that he will attend the summit despite the renewed tensions between the two neighbouring countries.
Mr Hun Sen earlier announced that he had ordered his troops to shoot any intruders from Thailand who stepped on Cambodian soil, after protesters led by Thailand's Peoples’ Alliance for Democracy (PAD) rallied in Si Sa Ket province last month to oppose Cambodia's plan to build new structures in the contested 4.6 square kilometres zone surrounding Preah Vihear temple.
The PAD protesters clashed with local police and local residents there.
Mr Kasit said that the government has negotiation frameworks which adhere to peaceful approaches and avoid any use of violence.
"I affirm that we have not yet lost the contested 4.6 square kilometers land and negotiation is the best way to solve this conflict," said Mr Kasit.
The minister added that rumours sometimes have been unleashed with an aim to benefit internal politics.
"I met Mr Hun Sen last week and everything sounds fine. I clarified the issue with all parties concerned," the Thai foreign minister said.
Mr Kasit reaffirmed that there is no conflict of interest, nor secret, in tackling the border dispute. He insisted everything can be examined and urged the public to trust the government's sincere intention to solve the dispute.
"I urge everyone not to stir up troubles which could lead to international conflict," said Mr Kasit.
The border disputes between Thailand and Cambodia flared up when former Thai Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama signed a joint communique with Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sok An in June 2008 to support Cambodia's sole application to list the 11th century temple as a World Heritage site, while the question of sovereignty over the land has never been clearly resolved.

These days Thailand can go around proposing any bullshit and the whole ASEAN would lend their ear and as for Cambodia and the ASEAN would shut them out! This kind of behavior must stop and no more double standard toward Cambodia! What is the fucken point for Cambodia to be a member of the ASEAN when Cambodia can't get benefit and privilege from ASEAN as a member?
Fuck Thailand! It is Thailand who cause the border conflict and it is up to Thailand to end it! Thailand needs to come to term that they are just a small shrimp among whale.
Damn dude Thai government sound like one bitter old hag loll.
Abhisit Vejjajiva government is so fake and disgusting. The whole world stop buying and believing all that crap that Abhisit try to fool his nation. The only people that take this jerk serious are pathetic idiots. Moreover, Thais are full of envy and jealousy because Cambodia has a lot of marvelous ancient temples that Thailand can never be.
Everyone knew that Thai PM Abhisit Vejjajiva was using patriotism propaganda, manipulation to save his political career. Siam, one thing that you have to remember; almost half of your Siam Lands country was belonging to Khmer empire. So do not bark anymore.
THAILAND IS A SMALL PIECE OF SHIT COUNTRY
Fucken Thailand trying to come up with new methods again? they never stop being greeds, ambitious, i'm tired to hear them barking every single day, Hun Sen must not cede this 4.6km lands to Thailand period! i just hope that Hun Sen stand strong like he promised cambodian people, that we will not loosing our lands, even one milimeter....
If Ah Kwack change his mind, he will strike by lightning 7 time on his forehead and fake eye...
Hun Sen must kept his words, not to lose 4.6km lands, otherwise he will die from smoking 555...
The Khmer Preah Vihear Temple and its surrounding land belong to Cambodia.
Read the ICJ court judgment with your honest mind.
And there is no overlapping area to talk about. End of discussions.
Thai government is in a nerve wreck right now. They are so confuse that PAD starts to fight each other. The more they try to claim the land makes international communities sees the truth that they have no land to claim. They so confuse now that they don't even know their history about who they are and where they come from.
Kasit thought is that if he's able to convince ASEAN to do like he wants it would be better for Thailand but my opinion is that this will back fire when the matter exposes to be better of for Cambodia. My bet is that they(the Thai) will never accept it until the matter goes to United Nation.
As you can see more foreign oil company now is flocking to sign up for right to research for oil with Cambodia especially the block on dispute with Thailand. The foreign company includes Japanese, French, and English have realized and know the truth that the block most likely belong to Cambodia.
At the end Thailand will lose face to international communities. And will be shamed for generations.

THAI WILL LOST THEIR FACES BEFORE ASEAN FOR SURE IF THEY STILL USE THEIR OWN UNILATERAL MAP.
