Cambodia Asks UN Secretary General to be Coordinator for Border Issues with Thailand

CAMBODIA, PHNOM PENH, AUGUST 12, 2010-Cambodian PM Hun Sen on Thursday said that he asked the Secretary General UN Ban to play the role as coordinator for border issues with Thailand.

Secretary General Ban will visit Cambodia 27-28 October this year, PM Hun Sen told the hundreds of participants of Tonle Sap Conversation meeting in Phnom Penh.

It is very ridiculous that Thailand accused Cambodia of invading and using forces. Thailand is threatening forces to invade Cambodia’s territory and take Cambodian soil, PM Hun Sen noted.

The bilateral border talks will resume unless Thai National assembly approved the border agreement in past years that border committee for the two countries had agreed. We will lose time for the talks, Pm Hun Sen added.

He also appealed to Thai Media to consider about their stories after Thai PM Abhisit said Thai Media misquoted him.  Thai Media reported correctly but Thai PM always refused about his words on border issues on Thai media.
