The 5th Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) meeting opened this morning at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel in Bangkok.

The two-day meeting is co-chaired by the head of the Thai delegation, Bundit Sotiplarit, and his Cambodian counterpart Var Kim Hong.

Foreign Ministry Thani Thongpakdi said the meeting would discuss the progress of the surveying and demarcation of the Thai-Cambodian boundary, the opening of a new permanent checkpoint at Stung Bot between Sa Kaeo and Bantey Meancheay, as proposed by Cambodia, and the selection of companies to take aerial photographs for mapping of the border.

The JBC co-chairmen will hold a press conference on the results of the meeting at 2.30pm tomorrow.
