Army chief Anupong Paojinda has cancelled a sports day scheduled for Saturday between Thai and Cambodian troops to stay in line with the government's attitude towards Phnom Penh, an army source says.
The move came after talks between the government and military leaders. It was decided the army should adopt a similar stance to the government towards Cambodia even though the military ties between the two countries remained good.
It would be an "unpleasant image" to see the government cut diplomatic ties with Phnom Penh while its soldiers played sports with Cambodian troops as if nothing had happened. The policies of the government and the army should be the same, the source said.
