Pattaya - The Thai and Cambodian militaries yesterday cemented their roles as pacifying forces amid the Bangkok-Phnom Penh diplomatic showdown, declaring readiness to use their good offices to help patch things up.
Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan and his Cambodian counterpart, Tea Banh, spent yesterday mapping out guidelines for future cooperation and identified specific programmes to serve as a platform for such cooperation.
The meeting, carried out in the context of the General Border Committee, a long-standing forum between military top brass from the two countries, sought to safeguard the current comfort level and not let political fallout affect existing cooperation.
