The prime minister confirms that the conflict
between Cambodia and Thailand will continue to be resolved by the
caretaker government through until election day.
Acting Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said that the July 3 general election will not obstruct attempts to solve the Thai-Cambodian conflict.
He insists that any conflicts, including the disputed border and armed conflicts between the two countries, will be addressed.
Regarding the World Heritage Committee meeting, Abhisit said Thailand's stance is still for a postponement of Cambodia's management plan for Preah Vihear Temple.
Thailand has also completed the preparation for the opening statement at the International Court of Justice concerning Cambodia's request to have a previous ruling on Preah Vihear Temple reinterpreted to address the 4.6 square kilometer surrounding disputed territory.
Although, Abhisit refused to unveil the details of Thailand's defense at the world court, he has expressed confidence that the problem can eventually be resolved and that Thailand can protect its sovereignty over its territory.
These issues were discussed in yesterday's special Cabinet meeting, which also approved the sending of an advance team by Indonesia to seven spots in Si Sa Ket Province to prepare accomodations for Indonesian observers.
The authorities were quick to point out that the presence of the advance team does not mean an immediate acceptance of the observer team as Thailand's stance is clear that troops have to be withdrawn from the disputed territory before Indonesian observers can be allowed in.
