SINGAPORE, Nov 15 (TNA) -- Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono early Sunday conferred on bilateral relations as well as on the ongoing diplomatic standoff between Thailand and its neighbour Cambodia, according to Thai Foreign Affairs Minister Kasit Piromya.
The discussion was held on the sidelines of the three-day 17th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings which are scheduled to end later Sunday in Singapore.
Mr Kasit said Mr Yudhoyono expressed concern over the Thai-Cambodian dispute and offered to mediate the crisis. The Thai premier reportedly told the Indonesian leader that his government will remain patient so that the problem would not affect the peoples of the two countries.
Mr Yudhoyono is scheduled to meet with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Sunday afternoon regarding the diplomatic row between the two countries and, according to Mr Kasit, results or progress from the meeting will be conveyed to him by his Indonesian counterpart.
Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia along with Brunei, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam, are ASEAN members.
Diplomatic ties between Cambodia and Thailand worsened after they recalled their ambassadors, expelled the first secretaries of each embassy, and the Cambodian government arrested a Thai man which it accused of spying on fugitive, ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Thailand has said emphatically that the accusation against the Thai national is groundless.
The Thai government has said the problem began with Mr Hun Sen’s appointment of Mr Thaksin as economic adviser to his government earlier this month.
Mr Abhisit, currently chairman of ASEAN, and the ASEAN leaders are to hold a summit with US President Barack Obama on relations between the regional bloc and the US which also include economic and security cooperation.
Mr Abhisit is scheduled to return to Bangkok Sunday evening.

The arrogant kasit piromya and abishit vegies say they are patient after being too over reacted with Hun sen's appointment of thaksin. These two felt paranoid after stealing power from thaksin. Hun sen may be said to seek personal internal interests but Abishit is also interested in power for his party not for the entire Thai people. Rakthai
What is the games are they playing?
Why not Cambodia take the offered for mediate by ASEAN members?
Or time are not yet come?
Wait untill both soldiers shoting each other and more suffer?
Raise up our border trouble with Thai and Vietnam to ASEAN and international at one time to fix all.

It is in the best interest of Cambodia to keep thailand divided. Sooner or later civil war will break out, not to mention the insurgency of the Malay people in the south.
Looking to our eastern border with viet, we must adopt the same tactic of the muslim Malay to fight the viets.
WHO IS PATIENT WITH WHOM? HOW CAN A THIEF ASK FOR POLICE FOR HELP?????
