Cambodia has violated the Thai-Cambodian memorandum of understanding signed in 2000 by encroaching on the Thai territory first, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said during his weekly broadcast on Sunday morning.

Mr Abhisit said the government had finished writing a letter explaining to the United Nations that Thailand did not threaten to use military force against Cambodia, as claimed by the Cambodian government.

"Thailand is committed to solve the border dispute peacefully under the 2000 MoU," the premier said.

Cambodian was the only side trying to list as a world heritage site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation. The Thai government had been clarifying the situation to foreign countries to avoid misunderstanding, he said.

A committee had been set up to help oversee the issue, he added.
