BANGKOK, March 29 (Bernama) — The debate on the long-delayed approval of the minutes of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission on Demarcation of Land Boundary (JBC) suffered another setback Tuesday, when the parliament adjourned the matter to next Tuesday, due to lack of quorum.
This means the joint Thai parliamentary sitting will debate the minutes just two days before the proposed JBC meeting to take place in Bogor, Indonesia on April 7 and 8.
There were only 262 Members of Parliament and senators during Tuesday’s debate on the matter, 15 short of quorum.
The government has asked parliament to endorse three documents drafted from previous JBC meetings in 2008 and 2009 between the two countries on border demarcation.
Last Friday, the parliament failed to debate the matter in the morning as planned due to lack of quorum but did not reach any conclusion when the quorum was met in the afternoon, thus postponing the debate to Tuesday.
