Cambodia will attend a General Border Committee meeting in Indonesia regardless of whether Thailand sends its delegation, Cambodian Defence Minister Tea Banh says.

Gen Tea Banh, also a Cambodian deputy prime minister, said his country is ready to attend the meeting and he will travel to Indonesia on Wednesday.

Gen Tea Banh reiterated his rejection of a proposal by his Thai counterpart, Prawit Wongsuwon, that the eighth GBC meeting be held either in Cambodia or in Thailand.

Gen Prawit objects to the meeting being held in a third country because he believes the Thai-Cambodian border dispute can be settled bilaterally.

Gen Tea Banh said the United Nations Security Council and Asean have agreed Indonesia will be allowed to play a role as a mediator.
