Commander of Army Region 1 (Northeast) Lt-Gen Udomdej Sitabutr insisted on Wednesday that Thailand has no plan to attack Cambodia.
“The army chief has made it a clear-cut policy that Thailand will not invade any country first, but if our country is invaded, the armed forces are ready to protect it,” Lt-Gen Udomdej said, responding to unsourced rumours.
The commander of Army Region 1 said Cambodia had reinforced its infantry along the Thai-Cambodian border but not by many, and the reinforcements had no effect on the Thai armed forces.
He said border trade in Sa Kaew province continues as usual.
Lt-Gen Udomdej said the border dispute has nothing to do with the July 3 election and that the polls will take place as planned.
He denied as baseless a report that the military had lobbied people to support a particular political party, insisting that the military will definitely stay impartial.
