P Penh wants association to dispatch monitors but Thailand rejects call as border clash drags on
Cambodia will request that Asean send observers to monitor and ensure a permanent ceasefire in the disputed border areas adjacent to the Hindu temple of Preah Vihear, as border skirmishes with Thailand showed no signs of ending.
“I will ask for Asean observers in the area to control and ensure a permanent ceasefire,” Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said at Phnom Penh International Airport yesterday upon his arrival from New York after the meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the Cambodian-Thai border conflict.
“We will wait and see if Thailand accepts this suggestion or not, we will know the real ambition of Thailand,” he was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
