Indonesia reiterates need for peaceful resolution of Thai-Cambodia row

TOKYO, Feb. 18 (Kyodo)—Visiting Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said Friday that Cambodia and Thailand must jointly reiterate their commitment not to use force amid ongoing border skirmishes.

Speaking at a news conference at the Japan National Press Club, Natalegawa said Thailand and Cambodia must "reinforce or reiterate the commitments that the two sides have repeatedly made that they will not wish to resort to the use of force in solving the problem between them."

"Given the nature of the two countries today, I feel that this commitment must be made together, rather than simply made separately," he said.

The remarks came ahead of a meeting in Jakarta next Tuesday that will bring together the foreign ministers of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations to discuss the dispute between the two countries. Indonesia currently holds the rotating chair of ASEAN.


Natalegawa visited Phnom Penh and Bangkok earlier this month in a bid to mediate in the conflict. The U.N. Security Council expressed "grave concern" Monday over the border skirmishes and called on both sides to establish a "permanent" cease-fire.

The Indonesian foreign minister added that work must be done on "how to compromise the two extreme ideas" to resolve the issue, one being to deploy a multilateral framework involving a third party and the other being for bilateral negotiations.

"Gone are the days when ASEAN swept things under the carpet, not addressing issues head-on. This time around we wish to confront issues head-on to bring peace and harmony whenever there are difficulties between ASEAN states as we are doing between Cambodia and Thailand," he said.

Thai also use anti tanks missile guide make from US to wipe out Hun Sen regime Tanks. Hun Sen's tanks cab be see from the satilite very clear because they are made from metal. Anti-tank missile can delivery very accuraccy to destry all Hun Sen tanks by using live GPS guide from satilide.

All cambodian army don't stay in the tanks if you want to survive OK!

Hun Sen can't update military weapons due to Hun Sen's regime so much currupted. They use the whole nation money for their pockets only that is why they are billionairs, millionairs but 90% cambodians are poor.

The Indonesian ASEAN chair can preach about the peace solution at any country as long as he wants, but the upcoming war between Cambodia-Thailand is unavoidably happened. At this moment, the UN Security Council as well as ASEAN are useless and too late to intervene the war. THE CAMBODIAN-CHINESE J-10s and STINGER MISSILES VS the Thai-WEST F-14s, F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, and A-10s, T54/55 Tanks and DK-shoulder launchers to AIR-MISSILES vs M1A1, M1A2, AND THE THAI-BRITISH scorpions Tanks. THE CAMBODIAN-CHINESE DF-21D-medium range missiles VS the Thai Warship aircraft carriers, the Cambodian-Chinese BM-21 vs The Thai artilleries. May GOD LOOK AFTER THE CAMBODIAN SOLDIERS AT THE FRONT LINES AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY THAILAND WHENEVER THE WAR IS STARTED. GOOD LUCK-CAMBODIAN SOLDIERS AT THE BATTLEFIELDS.

Create this new members just to piss Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippine off. I bet they will not going to happy with this.

I'd suggest this to happen see how they like that.

ទ័ពរក្សាសន្តិសុខមកឈរធ្វើស៊ីបនោះ
ក៏រឹតតែគ្មានទាល់តែសោះ។រដ្ឋាភិបាលគួរតែ
សឹក្សាឲ្យច្បាស់សិនមុនចេញសេចក្តីថ្លែងការណ៏។
បើការចចារត្រឡប់មកជាទ្វេភាគីវឹញសង្រ្គាមនឹង
ផ្ទុះឡើងជាថ្មី។សៀមប្រើចឹត្តសាស្រ្ត នឹងកម្លាំង
ខ្មែរប្រើកម្លាំងបាយសុទ្ធ
ដើម្បីដោះស្រាយ។បើយើងមើលឲ្យជ្រៅទៅ
ដល់បេះដូងរបស់សៀម សៀមមើលឃើញ
គ្រោះថ្នាក់ជាតិគេខ្លាំង នៅពេលណាដែលខ្មែរ

បែបនេះ។សៀមចង់ឲ្យខ្មែររំដោះខ្លួនចេញពី
យួនឲ្យបានរហ័ស ព្រោះអ្វីៗដែលយួន
ធ្វើមកលើខ្មែរស្មានតែសៀមគេនឹនដឹងអ្វីសោះ

បានប្រើភ្លើងធូបបង្កឲ្យខ្មែរដុត
ស្ថានទូតសៀម បង្កឲ្យមានសង្គា្រមខ្មែរសៀម គឺសុទ្ធតែមានន័យរបស់វា។បើហ៊ុនសែននៅតែ
ស៊ំគ្រលំលាក់បាំងការពឹតពីរឿងយួន បញ្ហាសៀមមិននអាចដោះស្រាយបានឡើយ។
