Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to accept Indonesian military and civilian observers to monitor disputed border areas that were the scene of bloody clashes earlier this month, following a meeting of ASEAN foreign ministers in Jakarta today.
Speaking after the meeting, Indonesian Foreign Minister and current ASEAN chairman Marty Natalegawa described the solution as a “unique arrangement”.
Though full details were not immediately available, Natalegawa, speaking for ASEAN, said each team would consist of 20 military and civilian members charged with observing a ceasefire agreed by both sides.
“It’s quite a unique regiment in the sense that Indonesian observers will be on both sides of the boundaries, on the Thai side as well as on the Cambodian side,” Natalegawa told reporters.
