BANGKOK, 5 May 2011 – Prime Minister
Abhisit Vejjajiva has confirmed that he has no objection to Indonesian
observers visiting the Thai-Cambodian overlapping border as long as
Cambodia withdraws its troops from the zone before the visit.
The prime minister stated that the visit of Indonesian observers was
already suggested in writing, and was no longer a problem. He however
stressed that Cambodia must remove its troops from the
4.6-square-kilometre disputed zone adjacent to the Preah Vihear Temple
as the action breached the 2000 Memorandum of Understanding.
As for Thailand’s direction in fighting the Preah Vihear Temple case
against Cambodia in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Prime
Minister Abhisit indicated that there were many possible ways, but the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs would seek opinions from all sides before
taking a step.
The prime minister added that Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya would
return from the Hague, Netherlands where the ICJ is located, on Thursday
and would report him on results of his mission.
Regarding the house dissolution date, Prime Minister Abhisit
confirmed that it would be made within the first week of May as earlier
promised, and details would be elaborated again on Friday before he
departed for ASEAN Summit in Indonesia.
