Thai PM: Too soon to hold talks on ceasefire agreement with Cambodia

BANGKOK, Feb 17 (MCOT online news) - As Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said he would ask Thailand to sign a permanent ceasefire agreement in the upcoming regional foreign ministers meeting, Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Thursday said it is too soon to talk about it as Thailand was not the party which opened fire.

The Thai premier made the statement after his Cambodian counterpart said earlier in Phnom Penh that he would request the signing of a permanent ceasefire agreement with Thailand with ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) or the ASEAN chair, witnessing the signing.

The ASEAN foreign ministers meeting is scheduled to be held in Jakarta, Indonesia on Feb 22.


Mr Abhisit said Cambodia's proposed ceasefire agreement is still unclear and Thailand did not begin the fighting, but only retaliated appropriately when Thai troops were attacked by its neighbour's armed forces.

In response to Mr Hun Sen’s statement that he adhered to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) regarding the ceasefire and bilateral talks with ASEAN observers, the Thai premier said the proposal is not different from that of ASEAN which earlier said the dialogue is a matter of the two sides but the regional grouping is ready to play a supporting role for the talk without getting involved in the details of the discussions.

"What Mr Hun Sen said today means that he accepts the fact that both countries should return to the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) which is the mechanism for bilateral talks," stated the Thai premier.

For the proposed permanent ceasefire agreement, now it is too soon for the signing as Thailand has reiterated from the beginning that we were not the one who began the shooting, Mr Abhisit said.

"Whenever we are invaded, we have to fire back and we have the right to protect our sovereignty," the Thai prime minister stated.

Mr Abhisit added that army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha has analysed the situation along the border and the continued shooting of Cambodian troops for him, but details cannot be disclosed to avoid possible impacts.

The premier said Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti also reported to him about his meeting with UNESCO executives and World Heritage Committee in Paris that they have better understanding over the Thai-Cambodian border conflict after the Thai delegation’s clarification.

Mr Abhisit said UNESCO is better aware that current dispute was related to the UN cultural agency’s request for a Preah Vihear management plan after the ancient temple was listed as a World Heritage Site.

Regarding UNESCO’s plan to send an envoy to inspect Preah Vihear temple, the Thai prime minister said it was yet clear about the UNESCO mission but Thailand, has made it clear to the UN cultural agency that any move which will complicate the sensitive situation in the area is not welcome. However, he said, it would be no problem if the visit is aimed at hearing information from both Thailand and Cambodia.

My beloved Khmers/ Thai in Surin, Si Sa Ket and Ubon Ratchathani provinces,

We, Khmers overseas love all of you. We know your daily life situation.

As you know, this war has been caused by Yellow Shirt and Abhisit group.

UN called all parties to UNSC. Cambodia won.

UN asked ASEAN to mediate. Cambodia won.


Abhisit is playing a dirty game not to sign cease fire with Cambodia.

Abhisit was installed by Yellow shirt. Two yellow shirts are in Cambodian Jail. Both, Abhisit and Yellow shirt are very mad. To obey Yellow shirt and need their support to stay in office, Abhist and his group must provoke the war with Cambodia.

Please tell your sons, relatives, and friends in the Thai army to throw the guns away and run back home. Don't die for Yellow shirt and Abhisit.

Please call Cambodian army where are the position of Thai soldiers along the border.

FIRSTLY, CAMBODIA USES THE INTERNATIONAL CHANNEL, UN SECURITY COUNCIL, TO SOLVE THE BORDER ISSUE WITH THAILAND. SINCE THE UNSC HAS THROWN THE ISSUE TO ASEAN TO INTERCEDE, SHE WILL SEE WHAT THE OUTCOME OF ASEAN'S MINISTERS. SECONDLY, IF ASEAN IS RELUCTANT TO ACCEPT THE CAMBODIA'S REQUEST OF SENDING THE OBSERVERS TO MONITOR AT PREAH VIHEAR TEMPLE, THE REAL WAR BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES, CAMBODIA-THAILAND, WILL DEFINITELY HAPPEN. SINCE THAILAND REPEATEDLY DID NOT WANT THE UN AS WELL AS ASEAN TO INTERVENE, THAT'S JUSTIFIED FOR HER OPINION. THIRDLY, CAMBODIA AND THAILAND WILL UNAVOIDABLY ENGAGE A WAR AGAINST ONE ANOTHER WITHOUT A REFEREE. aNOTHER WORD, KBACK KUN KHMER vs MUAY THAI without a referee, but only the international and Asean observers sit and watch what country will be won the upcoming war.SINCE THERE IS NO UN OR ASEAN referee, WHEN THE WAR IS STARTED, IT WILL BE NO "ABSOLUTELY" WHITE FLAG DURING THE CLASHES AT THE BATTLEFIELDS. IT'S REALLY GOOD IDEA THAT CAMBODIA HAS DON HER BEST AND NOTIFIED TO THE UN AND ASEAN ABOUT THE DISPUTE BEFORE THE REAL WAR HAS HAPPENED. DURING LATE 1960s, AMERICAN HAD PUT DOWN ON THE VIETNAM AS ITS MILITARY WAS INFERIOR AS COMPARED TO THE US FORCES. AMERICA HAD USED ALL KINDS OF SOPHISTICATED WEAPONS B-52s, F-15s, F-16s, countless CLUSTER BOMBS, ARTILLERIES TO WAGE A WAR WITH VIETNAMESE, BUT FINALLY AMERICANS HAD LOST THE VIETNAM WAR. tHE QUESTION IS WHY??????? IF YOU HAVE READ MY MESSAGE, YOU NEED TO THINK TWICE ABOUT WHY AMERICANS HAD LOST THE WAR DURING 1960s-1975. UNFORTUNATELY, THAI SOLDIERS ARE INEXPERIENCED AT THE BATTLEFIELDS. SEVERAL TIME OF CLASHES WITH CAMBODIAN SOLDIERS, THAI ARMY ALWAYS RAISED THE WHITE-MOTHER-FUCKER FLAGS WHEN LOST THE FIGHT WITH CAMBODIAN SOLDIERS. "NO MORE WHITE FLAGS WILL BE RAISED WHEN THE REAL WAR IS STARTED-THAILAND" THE UN AND ASEAN ARE ALREADY INCAPABLE OF MEDDLING THE DISPUTE AT PREAH VIHEAR.

People listen UN is know everything but UN as well as American and the world of modern democracy hate Hun Sen regime so much. American, UN use thai to eliminate Hun Sen regime out of the world only, that's why American, UN act like that. Please look at recently regime of Tuniasi and Egypt behind the scence is American and UN. Trust me, I am old enough and have heap of experinced in UN.

The idea is to wipe out all Hun Sen regime from the world and China can't help Hun Sen either because China know that China won't win the war with US. The military technology of China today are copy from US since 1945. US military system are a head China over 60 years.

Cambodian people should also wipe out Hun Sen regime as well as his 400 relative out of the world because they are the source to make cambodian people suffer until today.

Why do Kos Trol, sea and lands proximately over 10 000 km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty? Why don't Cambodia goverment transparency explain to cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?

Cambodian army are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 and what's about over 10 000km2 of cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian army you are decide the fade of your nation, Cambodian army as well as cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?

Kos Trol, Sea and lands over 10 000km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty at 1979 to 1985 treaty! treaty! Cambodian army at front line as well as all cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protect a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group rather in the real name of protecting khmer nation?

Cambodian army at front line suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs,lack of foods, lack of nutrition, their families have no health care help, no securities after they die but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning with young girls message, have super health care from oversea medical treatment, they are billionairs, millionairs who sell out the country to be rich and make cambodian people suffer everyday as cambodian people know already.

Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that result lost over 10 000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why don't they transparency inform all Cambodian and cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't include Kos Trol ( Kos Trol size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen with planty of natural resources ) in education
