Abishit to clarify the souring of ties with Cambodia during his visit to New York [-Is it another Thai-style clarification filled with innuendos?]

Abhisit to clarify Thai issues while he is in the US

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva will clarify and explain issues of economics, politics and foreign policy to audiences during his visit to the United States from Wednesday to Saturday.

He will be telling investors about the Map Ta Phut problems, the souring of ties with Cambodia and the auction of 3G licences at the US-Asean Business Council on Friday, a Government House official said yesterday.

Abhisit hopes the foreign business community and investors will understand his government’s policies and justice system, the official said.

The premier will also attend the second US-Asean summit on Friday to emphasise the importance of America’s role in building up security in Southeast Asia. Leaders from both sides will look for ways to prevent protectionism and help turn the US and Asean into strategic partners.

On Thursday Abhisit will attend the opening ceremony of the 65th UN General Assembly at the UN headquarters in New York. The assembly this year will include a high-level meeting on the Millennium Development Goals in order to push member countries, notably developing countries, to achieve the goal by 2015.

The premier will also meet the media while he’s in the US, and is scheduled for interviews with CNN and CNBC. Foreign media, notably CNN, was accused of being prejudiced when reporting on Abhisit’s handling the red-shirt protest earlier this year.

Abhisit will also hold bilateral meetings with many foreign leaders, including Slovenian Prime Minister Borut Pahor, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, and also attend a luncheon with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. A dinner reception hosted by US President Barack Obama, a speech at the Council of Foreign Relations and a meeting with Thais in New York is also on the PM’s itinerary.

He is scheduled to return to Thailand on Sunday morning.

the problem with siem is that they want to steal cambodia's preah vihear temple by show disrespect for the international law, contempt of icj verdict, and using their own secret map not internationally recognized, etc! as for the so called 1.6 sq. mile areas near preah vihear temple, there is no dispute as the international map showed this area belongs to cambodia since the treaty of 1907. siem pad thugs and their incompetent gangsters just wanted to block the natural, easy accessway from cambodia to the khmer temple, that's all! cambodia cannot accept that thug-like intention, you know!
