Thailand wants to discuss a truce with Cambodia, says DPM
BANGKOK, April 27 (TNA) - Thai Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, who oversees national security, insisted on Wednesday that Thailand wants to discuss a truce with Cambodia.
Regarding to a cancellation of Thai and Cambodian defence ministers’ negotiations, earlier scheduled for Wednesday, Suthep said that the situation has kept changing, but Thailand always wants negotiations and will find ways for talks in order to save the life of soldiers and people of both countries.
The Thai deputy premier denied that Thailand’s approach for negotiations had shown it was bowing to Cambodia, saying that Thailand only realised that a war would not be beneficial to any party and no one could occupy a single square inch of each other’s territory out of a war.
The Thai deputy prime minister acknowledged that he had been informed a Cambodian division commander was killed in a clash but he denied reports that Vietnamese troops would help Cambodia to fight with Thailand.
The Thai deputy premier said that a battle naturally causes damages to both parties, insisting, however, that Thailand has not been at any disadvantage. (TNA)
