SIEM REAP, Feb 3 (MCOT online news) - The seventh meeting of the Joint Commission (JC) on bilateral cooperation between Thailand and Cambodia on Thursday pledged that the two neighbours will not let the renewed tension regarding the border dispute to obstruct bilateral cooperation, while Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya is scheduled to visit the two convicted Thais incarcerated in a Phnom Penh prison on Friday.
Thai Permanent-Secretary for Foreign Affairs Theerakul Niyom made the remarks following the meeting of JC senior officials held in the Cambodian city Siem Riep between Thursday and Friday that the Thursday meeting between two sides went well.
Although the topics of discussion include a wide range of cooperation such as education, social, culture and economic affairs, the renewed tension on border dispute and the arrest of the seven Thais by Cambodian soldiers overshadowed the annual meeting.
Mr Theerakul said the meeting expected that the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission on Demarcation for the Land Boundary (JBC) will be a mechanism that solves the border conflict.
The foreign ministry official stated conflict can sometimes occur between the neighbouring countries, but one problem should not stall cooperation in other areas.
Foreign Minister Kasit led the Thai delegation to the bilateral meeting Thursday morning and he is scheduled to hold talks with his counterpart Hor Namhong, during which a discussion on Thai- Cambodian conflicts is expected.
It is expected that help to resolve the case of the two Thais -- Veera Somkwamkid, Thai Patriots Network activist, and Ratree Pipatanapaiboon, his secretary -- both sentenced to prison terms by a Cambodia court for espionage, will be raised during the talk.
Mr Kasit also plans to visit Mr Veera, now being detained in Phnom Penh's Prey Sar Prison, and Ms Ratree, still staying at Thai embassy, to discuss how to help them after the pair decided to appeal the Cambodian court verdict.
Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday sentenced Mr Veera to eight years in jail and fined of 1.8 million riels (450 U.S. dollars) and Ms Ratree to six years in prison and fined 1.2 million riels (300 U.S. dollars).
Veera and Ratree were among the seven Thais, including Democrat MP for Bangkok Panich Vikitsreth, arrested Dec 29 by the Cambodian authorities in Banteay Meanchey province contiguous to Thailand's Sa Keo province, for illegal entry.
The five others received nine-month suspended jail terms on Jan 21 and returned to Thailand on Jan 22.

Problem with Thailand is, they hated and jealousy khmer, that's the problems, but they must realize that CAMBODIA is no longer weak...though! We will strike your ass back alway to south china sea...becareful with CAMBODIA TODAY!!
Veera is a trouble maker. He wants to show to the THAI people that he is a leader of ALL THAI PEOPLE. He could get PM Taksin out of the office.
NOW he wants to prove to THAI people that he can walk freely inside Cambodia.
NOW, Cambodia can prove that we can put him, VEERA, in JAIL. Are you proud of yoursel, MR. VEERA ? I hope you sleep weel in Prey SAR.
Happy New Year !

1 step forward, 10 steps backward.

12:07 AM WRONG MOVE!
2 VACANCY, 5 NO VACANCY.
the problem with siem, if they change their old attitude about jealous, greed and hate and so on with cambodia, they're never going to have a good relationship with us, and for cambodia, we always do the same to them in return, of course! so, it's up to siem to change their way toward cambodia, really!
Why is HUN SEN government still dumb for letting Thai do whatever they want?
One hand shaking or working with HUN SEN the other will command to their army to ready to strike Cambodia or threaten war with Cambodia. This is not a friendly gesture for working toward peaceful way!
HUN SEN please step down for other that have the heart to really work for the benefits of Cambodia. Please recall the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement to put it on the table for the talk. You know that soon or later YUON will remove or replace you any way when you're worthless to them. So, this situation you must work for the benefit for our country so people will record your good work in the Cambodian history.
Khmer PP,
The meetings are ways to rescue the two Thais convicted. And after that, Thailand will again repeats its ambitions to trouble Khmers.

If cambodian was weak like before, forget it! They will step on us like dirt...But they kinda back down a little..? Keep Up and continue our to upgrade our military...please!
Dear Dr. Hun Sen and Ten Thousands stars Dr. Hun Manet,
Why do you and your relatives give Kos Trol, sea and lands to Vietnam? Why? and Why?
Why do you and all of your relatives involve a lot of murder cases in Cambodia? Why? Why?
Why do you murder Cambodian K5, 1997 events and so on and so on with lost count? Why?
If you are so good why do you and your families murder Cambodians? Why? And Why?
If you are so good, why do above 90% Cambodians are so poor but you and your relatives are billionaires and millionaires? Why? Why?
Why do you try to kill people from telling the true? Why? Why?
What is the difference from Khmer Rough and you, Sir?
If you are so good why do you block KI from Cambodians?
If you are so good, why do you steal all Cambodian life such as well being, health, cut down Cambodians life expectancy as well? But you and your small group are eat well, sleep well, exercise well, have oversea doctors and best medical treatment from high class private doctors from oversea. Most Cambodians that have no money, your healthcare system left Cambodians patients to die in front of your hospital. Why? Why?
If you are so good why more than 6 millions Vietnamese are living permanently in Cambodia, right now? Why, Dr. Hen Sen? And Why
Everywhere, I walk in Cambodia I see Vietnamese speak Vietnamese every where, why? Why?
Don't you and your families scare of hell for eternity?
When you die can you bring all of your power and money with you?
Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Big ass lady and his beloved Dr. Hun Manet Please don't put us in jail or kill us for this! We want to live like you and your families do!
Khmers victim of 1997 and K5, Khmer Girl MS. Rattana Keo
PS
If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent Cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying Cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.
CPP are not just corrupted, CPP are extremely corrupt. They are even sell the country such as Kos Trol, Seas, lands, Cambodian people, Cambodian health and well being, all resources in the Cambodia…with lost count. You name it!
Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent? The country is getting smaller and smaller and shame by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet and his families, his relatives and friends.
STOP TALKING AND GET IT MOVING. YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME SICK. TOO MUCH BUREAUCRATIC STUFF, BUT NO ACTIONS. BOTH SIDES ARE WASTING THE COUNTRY RESOURCES (MONEY).
GET IT DONE! THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT BETTER THINGS.
When will the planet
earth stop spinning,
the living natures
stop breathing?
All human beings and
living things never
cease to standstill
in the same places;
and minds can change
any time.
Thai leaders can wax and wane any
occasions.
Any country leaders want gain over to the other leaders
in economy and politic.
The people are greedy,truth less,and unsharp.
All religions try to calm them down,but still do not overcome them.
