Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said that
Thailand did not abandon the upcoming Thai-Cambodian General Border
Committee meeting, but the country is waiting for the return of the
environment minister, who is attending the UNESCO meeting in France.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva reiterated that Thailand did not scrap plans to hold the upcoming Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee, or GBC, meeting.
He said Thailand wants to clarify its stance to the Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, who is the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN.
Abhisit said the GBC meeting has only been postponed only until after the return of Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti, who is taking part in the World Heritage Committee meeting in France.
The premier added that pushing through Cambodia's management plan for Preah Vihear Temple would only increase Thai-Cambodian tensions.
The premier expressed no concern over the border clashes, saying Thailand never initiated the attacks, and that the country did not fire at the disputed temple as has been accused by Cambodia.
He said Cambodia should be worried as there is evidence that it stationed military troops within the temple, which violates the agreement between the two countries.
The premier emphasized that Thailand has all the evidence it needs to prove its case.
