Thai, Cambodian commanders hold border talks

SA KAEO, Dec 31 (MCOT online news) -- Thailand's First Army Area Commander Lt-Gen Udomdej Setaboot today led top Thai military brass and civil officials to visit the scene where seven Thais were taken into custody by Cambodian troops earlier this week.

The Thai team today held talks with Cambodian Region 5 Army commander Lt-Gen Boon Seng to avoid misunderstanding between the countries.

Gen Udomdej, accompanied by Sa Kaeo governor Sanit Naksooksri, Burapha Task Force commander Maj-Gen Walit Rojanapakdi and Sa Kaeo province's Khok Sung district chief Yuthana Nujchanart inspected the area and met in closed door talks with Gen Boon Seng.

After the talks neither Gen Udomdej nor Gen Boon Seng spoke to reporters about the meeting.


However, Mr Sanit said that Gen Boon Seng came to the Thai military base in Sa Kaeo discuss with Gen Udomdej as Cambodian authorities are concerned that the arrest of the seven Thais may be blown out of proportion so he wanted to avoid misunderstanding and did not want the local residents of both countries along the border to be affected by the incident.

Gen Boon Seng said the Thai trespass case was now in court procedures with which the Cambodian government could not interfere.

The seven detained Thais, including Democrat Party member of parliament Panich Vikitsreth and members of the so-called 'Yellow Shirt' People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) protest movement, were apprehended by Cambodian troops on Wednesday while they inspected the border areas near Cambodia's Banteay Meanchey province, which borders Thailand.

Thai Minister of Foreign Affairs Kasit Piromya on Thursday went to Phnom Penh in an attempt to secure their freedom, but he failed accomplish that. The seven were charged by the Phnom Penn Municipal Court with illegal entry and illegally entering a military base along the border, crimes carrying penalties of up to six months and one year, respectively.

Gen Udomdej said earlier that the situation at the border in Sa Kaeo remained normal and that there was no reinforcement of troops by either Thailand or Cambodia.

មានពលរដ្ធខ្មែររាប់ពាន់នាក់ដែលបានស្លាប់ដោយសារពួកសៀមវាសម្លាប់នៅក្នុងឆ្នាំ១៩៧៩ទៅដល់ឆ្នាំ១៩៨៥គឺប្រជាជនខ្មែរដែលបានមករស់នៅតាមជុំរំទល់ដែន
ជនជាតិខ្មែរពិតជាត្រូវបានពួកសៀមវាធ្វើបាបជារាងរាល់ថ្ងៃមុននឹងបានមករស់នៅស្រុកក្រៅ។
ខ្ញុំមិននិយាយបំភ្លើសនោះទេគឺជារឿងពិត។ក៏ប៉ុន្តែខ្ញុំពុំមានចិត្តក្នុងការសងសឹកវិញទេតែគ្រាន់តែនិយាយថា៖
ពួកនេះមិនដែលមានសិលធ័មចំពោះប្រជាជនខ្មែរ
បានមួយថ្ងៃណាទេ។ចំពោះកម្ពុជាវិញមានសិលធម៍
គ្រប់បែបយ៉ាងទៅលើពលរដ្ធសៀមវិញមិនបានសម្លាប់ពួកសៀមបានម្នាក់ឡើយ។បើកងយុទ្ធពលខ្មែរ
ចាប់ពួកវាបានច្រើនតែយកពួកវាមកតុលាការហើយជួនកាលលែងពួកវាទៅវិញក៏មានដែរ!
