Bangkok , Oct 23: Thailand has protested against Cambodia deploying its troops at Trimuk Pavilion (Sala Trimuk), near the tri-border meeting point of its boundaries with Cambodia and Lao.
Director-General Virachai Plasai of the Thai Foreign Ministry's Department of Treaties and Legal Affairs met Cambodian Charge d'Affairs to Thailand Ouk Sophoin at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to present an aide-memoire on a September 18 occurrence, during which seven fully-armed Cambodian troops were deployed at Trimuk Pavilion.
According to the diplomatic note, Thailand expressed its concern over the unnecessary tension caused by such a deployment of troops by Cambodia into a boundary which is yet to be demarcated and still subject to tripartite negotiation between Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.
Thailand reiterated its commitment to settle boundary issues with Cambodia fairly through peaceful means under the existing framework of the Thailand-Cambodia Joint Boundary Commission (JBC).
In the note, Thailand asked Cambodia to promptly withdraw its troops from the Trimuk Pavilion area and refrain from further troop deployments in the area to preserve goodwill and trust between the two countries pending completion of the boundary demarcation.
In addition, Thailand informed Cambodia that on Tuesday the cabinet confirmed the appointment of Vasin Teeravechyan, former ambassador to the Republic of Korea, as Chairman of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundaries (JBC).
