PM Abhisit : Cambodia must make first move to defuse conflict FM Kasit : Situation has changed since Thaksin's appointment
Thailand yesterday terminated the memorandum of understanding on overlapping maritime areas with Cambodia that was signed during Thaksin Shinawatra's administration in 2001.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said he was adopting a "wait-and-see" approach on the current conflict with the neighbouring country.
Speaking via telephone conference from Tokyo, Foreign Ministry Kasit Piromya said the circumstances surrounding the MoU had changed as Thaksin was now appointed an adviser to the Cambodian government.
"Thaksin knows the Thai position, so Thailand cannot negotiate with Cambodia based on this agreement," he said.
