Aug. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Cambodia called for official talks with Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to jointly develop areas of the Gulf of Thailand that may be rich in oil and gas after revealing it held secret meetings with her predecessor.
"Cambodia would welcome the resumption of open and official negotiation on this issue and will pursue such a course as soon as practicable," the Cambodian National Petroleum Authority said in a statement yesterday.
Talks on delineating 26,000 square kilometers in the Gulf of Thailand stalled as battles between the neighbors since 2008 over temples on their land border killed more than two dozen people. Ex-leader Abhisit Vejjajiva scrapped a 2001 deal that established a framework for the talks after Cambodia appointed Thaksin Shinawatra, Yingluck's brother, as an adviser.
Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An held "secret meetings" with Suthep Thaugsuban, Abhisit's deputy, the past two years on the disputed maritime territory, according to the statement. Cambodia's petroleum agency said Abhisit has been "attempting to derail" negotiations with Yingluck's government, which took power earlier this month.
Suthep declined to comment when reached by phone today.

Cambodia need to get some Missile from North Korea and blast Thailand of our SEA...
Thailand play the same game as they did to 4.6km at Preah vihear..
It belongs to Thailand mother land, the whole Scambodia, ok?
Cambodia was born in the first AD;
Thailand or Siam was born in 1238
AD.Siam became Khmer slaves for
800 years.Thai worked as Khmer
subjects in Ayuddhya.Later became
a kingdom called Ayuddhya kingdom.
Thai people should know who you
were.The whole Thailand belonged
to Khmer empire.Bangkok is still
Khmer name.All Thai large cities
are still Khmer name:Surin,Buriram,
and on and on in the Thai Kingdom
some Thai changed their names,some
didn't.
Some Khmer ruin temples still stand there as witnesses.
All Thai people should admit and
say thank you to Khmer people.
Thai languages are Thai and Khmer,
but all Thai people bloods are
Khmer bloods.Go and check your
blood,how Khmer blood in your
body?
ជនជាតិថៃគួរមានសច្ចធម៌ កតញ្ញុតាធម៌ចំពោះ
ជនជាតិខ្មែរដែលបានឲ្យកំនើតដល់ថៃរហូតមកដល់ពេលនេះ។
Thailand and Cambodia have problem gas in sea water in Thailand's Gulf.
Both countries should solve this
problem peacefully,but not to use
weapon like in Preah Vihear problem.
Sok An is hoon xen' boss.
