Thai and Cambodian generals yesterday agreed to a cease-fire as Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva called for national unity in response to the border conflict with Cambodia.

Citing a passage in the national anthem, Abhisit said Thailand will not intimidate neighbouring countries but is always ready to defend its sovereignty.

Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, meanwhile, told ambassadors from 16 Asian countries and United Nations Security Council members that the Thai military had responded appropriately in the border conflict.
