Phnom Penh will wait until Thailand’s parliament ratifies the previous memos of Joint- Boundary Commission (JBC) meetings before it will accept Bangkok’ s proposal on the next JBC meeting, Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman said Saturday.

Thailand has proposed to hold the next JBC on March 7-8 with its neighboring Cambodia in order to discuss border demarcation.

The issue so far has not yet been submitted for approval of Thai parliament; therefore, it is uncertain the next JBC would be held in Indonesia during March 7-8, Thani Thongpakdi, FM spokesman said.

The Article190 of Thailand’s 2007 Constitution regulates that any treaty to be signed with other foreign countries and may bring about territorial changes requires parliament’s ratification before it will be implemented.
