BANGKOK, Feb 21 (Bernama) — Bangkok will insist on existing Thailand-Cambodia bilateral mechanisms in resolving their border dispute at tomorrow’s Asean Foreign Ministers Meeting in Jakarta, Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said here Monday.
These mechanisms were the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission on Demarcation of Land Boundary (JBC), the General Border Committee (GBC) and the Regional Border Committee, he said.
“Thailand would affirm to other Asean member countries that the mechanisms have been making progress and should continue,” he said in a statement.
He said former ambassador Asda Jayanama, who co-chaired the JBC on the Thai side, had sent a letter to the Cambodian co-chair of the JBC inviting the latter to attend the JBC meeting in Thailand, which had been agreed to in principle by Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong.
