Thai FM Kasit holds urgent meeting to ponder next move

Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya on Sunday held an urgent meeting to consider the next move after Thailand withdrew from the World Heritage Convention to protest against its decision to consider Cambodia's Preah Vihear management plan.

The meeting comprised representatives from his ministry and ministries of Culture and Natural Resources and Environment.

It was held as Kasit is leaving for Kazakhtan this evening.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti, head of the Thai delegation negotiating with the World Heritage Committee in Paris, said on Saturday his delegation had informed the WHC that Thailand resigned as a member country to the convention.


The decision was made after the panel ignored Thailand's concern that the consideration of the management plan would complicate Thai-Cambodian border dispute.

"They ignored it and they did not care about our sovereignty and territory," Suwit said.
