Authorities concerned meet on Thai-Cambodian border issues
BANGKOK, August 18 (TNA) - Newly-appointed Thai Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul called a meeting of his ministry's officials tasked with Thai-Cambodian border issues on Thursday morning to discuss and gather updated relevant information.
Surapong told reporters that Thursday’s meeting discussed issues of bilateral relations between Bangkok and Phnom Penh, border demarcation, memoranda of understanding (MOU) which were scrapped by the previous Democrat Party-led government.
Surapong said other issues raised at the meeting included a pending case on Thailand's membership withdrawal from the World Heritage Committee under the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), which was also decided by the previous Abhisit administration, and the other filed by Cambodia with the Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ) seeking the World Court's interpretation of its verdict on the Preah Vihear case in 1962.
According to the new Thai foreign minister, all the issues raised at today's meeting were concluded and will then be reported to the Thai Cabinet at its meeting held after the new Pheu Thai Party-led government's presentation of its policy statement to the Parliament later this month. (TNA)
