ASEAN foreign ministers are gathering for an Indonesia-facilitated urgent meeting slated for Tuesday to discuss possible solutions to the recent border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand over the disputed area surrounding the ancient Hindu Temple of Preah Vihear, a statement issued by the ASEAN Secretariat said on Monday.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has, for the first time, called upon ASEAN to ensure an effective dialogue in search of a lasting solution to the border dispute between two Member States.
“UNSC’s open and official support for conciliation efforts to the ASEAN Chair is a sign that the United Nations has faith in ASEAN to help its member states find amicable regional solutions to bilateral problems such as this,” said the secretary-general of ASEAN, Dr Surin Pitsuwan.
