Bangkok/Phnom Penh – Thailand and Cambodia both claimed victory after a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting in New York to discuss their conflict near an 11th-century Hindu temple on their common border.
‘We were successful in our explanation to the UNSC,’ Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya told the Thai News Agency.
Thailand’s main objective at Monday’s meeting was to block Cambodian efforts to get the council involved and keep the issue bilateral.
But Cambodian Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong said Kasit’s claims did not stand up to scrutiny.
‘Actually this was a victory for the Cambodian side,’ he said. ‘The Security Council met following the request by (Cambodian) Prime Minister Hun Sen.’
