BANGKOK, Aug 15 (TNA) -- Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva reaffirmed Sunday that Thailand’s border dispute with Cambodia over the ancient Preah Vihear temple must be resolved in line with international norms and that Thailand is prepared to explain the problem on an international platform.
In his weekly address on television and radio, Mr Abhisit said the Cambodian government last week wrote to “important officials of the United Nations” saying that he had shown an attitude toward using violence in resolving the problem.
Mr Abhisit said he had also immediately sent a letter to the UN saying that his government has been using international practices or the world body’s principles in resolving the border dispute.
The prime minister explained in his letter that tensions on the Thai-Cambodian border arose because Cambodians have intruded into Thai territory and the Cambodian government had unilaterally applied for the World Heritage status for Preah Vihear temple, an action which led to difficulty regarding the management plan of the temple.
