UNITED NATIONS: The UN Security Council will hold a closed meeting on Monday on border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia with the foreign ministers from the two nations, diplomats said.

Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, Cambodia's Hor Namhong and Indonesia's Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, who has been trying to mediate in the dispute, are expected to speak to the council, diplomats said.

A spokesman for the Brazilian mission, which holds the Security Council presidency for February, said Monday's meeting would be behind closed doors.


Thailand and Cambodia have blamed each other for the clashes around the ancient temple of Preah Vihear, which have left at least eight dead in the past week.

Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen sought an urgent Security Council meeting and called for a UN buffer force to be put in place. Thailand has said the dispute should sorted out between the two countries.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon spoke with the prime ministers of Thailand and Cambodia on Tuesday again offered new UN help to negotiate a peace deal.

Thailand under AH Abishit illegal government is an ally of United States is no different than that of Iraq under Saddam Hussein government which is also an ally of United States!

When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and United States don't give a fuck if you an ally and if you invade and become aggressor on other nation then United States will step in and become the world police! United States has moral responsibility for the world because United States is the sole super power of the world!

Now Thailand needs to get the fuck out of way of Uncle Sam and he has some works to do!

Why has to be a closed door meeting? This is a concern to all, especially to all Khmer.
