The Foreign Ministry will be keeping a close eye on parliament today as three minutes from the Joint Boundary Commission are deliberated again.

The joint parliament postponed consideration of the minutes from Friday last week after it took five hours to debate the documents, which have been put on the parliament’s agenda four times already.

The documents are opposed by some senators and members of the yellow shirt People’s Alliance for Democracy and Thai Patriots Network who fear that approval could lead to Thailand losing territory in its border dispute with Cambodia.

They are calling for the revocation of the 2000 Memorandum of Understanding signed by Thailand and Cambodia which facilitated the JBC meeting and the proposal of the minutes.
