Observers from Indonesia are not needed to solve the Thai-Cambodian border dispute, army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha insists.
Thai military leaders have also proposed that Thailand and Cambodia set up joint checkpoints to secure the disputed area.
“A third country or any other country must not get involved. Thailand and Cambodia can talk.
He repeated the stance taken by Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon and armed forces chiefs. They want the Foreign Ministry to tell Cambodia they do not want any observers from Indonesia, the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), to get involved in bilateral border issues.
“I do not reject observers but I do not think they are necessary because we can solve the problem ourselves.
“If observers finally come, I will keep them on the outside.
