Thailand voices disappointment over latest clash with Cambodia

BANGKOK, April 29 (Xinhua) — Thai government was disappointed with the latest round of clash although both sides have earlier reached an agreement to a ceasefire, government spokesman said on Friday.

Panitan Wattanayagorn, Thai government spokesman, said the Thai government also felt sorry for the lost of lives of soldiers and civilian, Matichon online reported.

From eight days of clash, Thailand has lost seven soldiers and one civilian with more than 70 people injured.

Thailand strongly urged Cambodia to resume negotiation, Panitan said at a press briefing at the Foreign Ministry.
