Thailand to solve conflict with Cambodia peacefully


09/14/2009

Thailand’s Foreign Affairs Minister Kasit Piromya said on September 13, that the border problem between his country and Cambodia must be solved through “peaceful means.”

Reiterating that the Thai government’s stance regarding the ancient temple remains unchanged, Minister Kasit said that the problem must be solved at the negotiating table by strictly following agreements made between the two countries under the United Nations charter, the Thai news agency (TNA) reported.

It is not appropriate to use emotions, feelings or excessive patriotism, he said, adding that the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) plans to gather at the ancient Preah Vihear temple to demand Cambodian civilians and its military to leave the contested area around the temple.

He also said that the group has the right to express its opinion, while the government has a duty to promote positive international relations and underlined that the border issue must be solved by peaceful means. VOVNews/VNA
