Phnom Penh told not to push border dispute too far

The Nation

Asean Chairman told Cambodia not to push the border dispute with Thailand too far beyond bilateral and regional forums since it could harm the Asean stand.

Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo said in a letter to Cambodia's Foreign Minister Hor Namhong that the issue should not be push to the United Nations Security Council.

"The parties concerns are too quick to resort the matter to the UN Security Council. This would do harm Asean standing and actually make the resolution be more difficult," Yeo said in his letter.
