BANGKOK, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- The relationship of the Thai and Cambodian militaries has remained good, Thai Defense Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan said Friday.
The diplomatic tension has not affected the bilateral cooperation between the Thai and Cambodian militaries along the border, Thai News Agency quoted General Prawit as saying.
"At the army level, after talking to Cambodian Defense Minister Tea Banh, we have agreed we will always cooperate as Defense Minister Tea understands every matter, no problem," General Prawit said.
The Thai and Cambodian defense ministers met on Nov. 27 in Thailand during a meeting of the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee (GBC).
During the GBC meeting, the two sides have agreed that they will not use force to deal with the border matter.
The diplomatic problem has occurred after Cambodia has appointed ousted former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic advisor to Cambodia's government and Prime Minister Hun Sen from Nov. 4.
A day after the appointment, the Cambodian government announced the recall of its ambassador to Thailand in a move to respond to the Thai government's recall of its ambassador to Cambodia.
