Phnom Penh: Cambodian Defence Minister Tea Banh is optimistic that his Thai counterpart Prawit Wongsuwon will attend the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee meeting on April 7-8 in Bogor, Indonesia.

Gen Tea Banh yesterday quoted Gen Prawit as saying he had agreed to attend the meeting in Indonesia after they spoke over the phone recently.

Gen Tea Banh said he would leave Cambodia for Indonesia on April 6 to attend the meeting.

“The Thai side can no longer be stubborn because it is the resolution by the UNSC [United Nations Security Council] and Asean that Indonesia should play a role as mediator,” he said in Thai.

“[Thailand] cannot simply change its mind and it has to follow what it has promised to do.

“I still believe that Gen Prawit will surely go to the meeting in Indonesia on April 7-8. I’ll wait [for him] there,” said Gen Tea Banh.
