Abishit Sends Letters To UN, Security Council

By Jamaluddin Muhammad

BANGKOK, Aug 11 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Wednesday sent letters to the United Nations (UN) and Security Council, explaining his remarks on the Thailand-Cambodia border issue were misquoted, taken out of context and misunderstood by his Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen.

Abhisit sent the letters to UN General Assembly president Dr Ali Abdussalam Treki and Security Council president Vitaly Churkin, in response to letters sent by Hun Sen to the two presidents on Sunday.

The Thai premier said the country attached great importance to maintaining good and cordial relations with all neighbouring countries, including Cambodia, a member of Asean.

Despite current challenges in the bilateral relations between Thailand and Cambodia, the two countries still maintain close cooperation and coordination within bilateral and regional frameworks.
