BANGKOK, Nov 6 (TNA) - Thai Minister of Foreign Affairs Kasit Piromya said he would ask the cabinet to consider revoking a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Thailand and Cambodia on overlapping maritime boundaries in the Gulf of Thailand as the MoU would be affected by the appointment of convicted former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as economic advisor to Cambodian government.The MoU regarding the Area of their Overlapping Maritime Claims to the Continental Shelf, dated 18 June 2001 was signed by then-foreign minister Surakiart Sathirathai and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An during the Thaksin Shinawatra administration.
Mr Kasit said the government had ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to review all existing bilateral agreements and cooperation projects made with Cambodia and review ongoing cooperation that the Thai government has extended to Cambodia.
