Kasit: Banning Thai workers must be lawful

Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya insisted on Thursday that everything must be in line with the law after the Cambodian government prohibited Thai nationals from working at Cambodian Air Traffic Services (CATS), which is operated by Thailand's Samart Corporation.

The Cambodian government ordered the air traffic control company to ban Thai workers from performing their duties and replace them with Cambodian workers. All the company's tools and equipment were also seized.

The orders must be in accordance with Cambodia's investment and internal regulations, Mr Kasit said.

"As for Thailand, we'll have to wait for reports from the Thai Embassy to Phnom Pehn. We hope that we'll receive factual information from Cambodia and [Smart] company," he said. "If the orders do not follow the bilateral agreement of the two countries, we'll have to find other ways to continue."

The Foreign Ministry had sent Consular Affairs Department deputy director-general to meet with the mother of Thai engineer Siwarak Chothipong, who was arrested by the Cambodian government last week on spy charges.

Mr Kasit said Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva had promised Mr Siwarak's mother that he will visit her detained son.

He said the government had to wait for Cambodia's confirmation on the time of the meeting with the engineer, but the ministry had also hired a lawyer to discuss this problem with the company.

"There are no problems in the Thai-Cambodian relations," he added.
