It might not be necessary for Indonesian observers to be sent to the disputed area near the Preah Vihear temple if Thailand and Cambodia can reach agreement on solving their problems, Defence Minister Yutthasak Sasiprapa said on Tuesday.
Gen Yutthasak said this idea had been proposed by Cambodia.
If the two countries agreed on this, the International Court of Justice would be notified that it was not necessary for Indonesian observers to be sent into the disputed area and the border problem would be settled through bilateral mechanisms, he said.
The ICJ ruled on July 18 that Thailand and Cambodia should withdraw their soldiers from the disputed area and allow observers from Asean access to the area pending its consideration of a Cambodian petition concerning ownership of the disputed area.
The ICJ also set up a ``provisional demilitarised zone'' around Preah Vihear temple.
Gen Yutthasak said Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Tea Banh had sent a letter inviting him to attend the long-stalled 8th General Border Committee (GBC) in Phnom Penh.
The Thai-Cambodian GBC is co-chaired by the defence ministers of the two countries.
In responding to the invitation, the defence minister said he would call a meeting of agencies concerned on Aug 17 for a briefing.
After that he would assign Lt-Gen Wissanu Sriyaphan, chief of the Border Affairs Department of the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters and Thai secretary for GBC meetings, to coordinate with Cambodia on a preparatory meeting to work out a schedule for the GBC meeting as soon as possible.
In the meantime, there would be a Regional Border Committee (RBC) meeting in Nakhon Ratchasima province co-chaired by Lt-GenTawatchai Samutsakhon, the Army Region 2 commander, and Lt-Gen Chea Mon of Cambodia to work out the framework of the GBC meeting.
Gen Yutthasak said at the GBC meeting he would see if there would be any agreement that would require parliamentary approval.
Asked when the withdrawal of troops would begin, Gen Yutthasak said he expected this would be soon after the GBC meeting.
On a request from a number of senators for him to talk to Gen Tea Banh about helping Veera Somkwamkid, coordinator of the Thai Patriots Network, and his secretary Ratree Pipatanapaiboon, who are each serving a jail term in Phnom Penh after being found guilty of illegal entry and spying, Gen Yutthasak said this matter could be taken for consideration later.
He said he did not want to apply any pressure on Cambodia.

Hi Everyone,
One of KI-Media member who has his name in Facebook as Khmer Sovannaphumi but his real name is Pang Sokhoeun, former political asylum and now living in Sweden. He always copies news from here to post in his facebook profile to promote himself, but right now, he tries to remove and blocked anyone who dares to reveal his con activity particular he tries to hide what he has cheated his wife (Sreypov Chea) by having a girlfriend (Sokunthear Sam) behind his wife back. Now, his girlfriend had run way from him after she knew his cheating.
A con man Pang Sokhoeun as well as KI-Media like to insult to the government officers who have affairs, but himself does even worse than other people. What ashame!
When one person had posted in KI-Media and accused that a con man Pang Sokhoeun is a brother of Som Ek (former Chief of Tiger's head sign guerilla, who was arrested and put in prison by Cambodian government) during that time, a cheater Pang Sokhoeun came to deny in his blogs immediately and had pointed the blame to Mr. Sourn Serey Rotha, but this time, he has bury his head in the sand because he cannot deny the truth that he has cheated his wife. Right now, all he can do is removed and blocked anyone who dared to reveal his cheating.
The law is the law and allow the law to deal with border issue!
The International Court of Justice must have a say first before Thailand and Cambodian leaders want to change course or saying anything!
To 5:54PM
There is no way to prove what you said is true!
from now on, everything about thai and khmer talk must have international observers, period! stop playing siem dirty game with cambodia, ok! this is not the dark ages era, ok! don't be stupid forever, ok! wake up, people!
Cambodia must stick with the third party involvement. Thailand will not change its stance again... Please learned from our past.
Is ah Kwack stupid and sale out to Thai trict again????
If Khmer Govt. agrees to this, then they just throw away all the effort with the ICJ. And if the problem arises again, then it's going to be a laughable joke. I say forget the GBC with the Siam and let the ICJ takes its course. As for the 2 prisoners, they must serve the full term of 8 years! Don't let a tiger back to its jungle. Otherwise, they will be regretted.
