BANGKOK — Thailand will tell the UN Security Council there is no need for outside mediation to resolve a deadly border conflict with Cambodia, according to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
He said Thailand was confident that it could make a strong case at the closed-door meeting in New York on Monday to show that Phnom Penh sparked the standoff over disputed territory, which has left eight people dead.
“We’re confident that we can explain that (Cambodia’s claims) are wrong,” he said in his weekly television address.
“Cambodia is calling for (intervention by) a third country, the UN and peacekeeping forces. Thailand will call for a return to bilateral talks on demarcation,” he said.
