Cambodia sticks to its stance on Friday that there will be no bilateral meeting of Cambodia- Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) this month as requested by Thailand, Lt. Gen. Chhum Socheat, spokesman for Cambodian Ministry of Defense, said Friday.
“His Excellency Tea Banh (Cambodian Defense Minister) has already replied the Thai request, saying that it’s not appropriate time to hold the meeting and there will be no bilateral talks without the presence of ASEAN chair,” he said by telephone.
“If Thailand wants to propose meeting with Cambodia, it can ask ASEAN chair to convene,” he said.
The Bangkok Post quoted Thai Defense Minister Prawit Wongsuwon on March 3 as saying that Thailand has requested Cambodia to hold the 8th GBC meeting in March, instead of its usual meeting in April, so the two countries can hold bilateral talks sooner to solve problems and to talk over arrangements for Indonesian observers to visit the border area.
